Benton said that the US-Ukraine mineral agreement is an economic partnership, sending a signal to Russia.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Benton said on Thursday that the mineral agreement between the United States and Ukraine is a comprehensive economic partnership, which will enable President Donald Trump to negotiate with Russia from a stronger position. The agreement, signed on Wednesday, grants the United States priority in participating in new Ukrainian mineral transactions and provides funding for Ukraine's reconstruction investments.
In an interview with Fox Business News, Benton said that this agreement would show the "Russian leadership that there are no differences between the goals of the Ukrainian people and the American people."
