A new economic agreement of significant importance for the country's recovery has been signed between the governments of the USA and Ukraine. This was announced by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in an interview with Fox Business Network on May 1.
The American Treasury Secretary assessed the new agreement as a full-fledged economic partnership that would enable US President Donald Trump to conduct negotiations with Russia more successfully.
“This agreement is a clear signal for the Russian leadership. The document shows that there are no conflicts or disagreements between the Ukrainian and American peoples. We understand that as long as Ukrainians do not live prosperously, America will not benefit either. Therefore, now the two countries are economically fully united. This creates an opportunity for President Trump to negotiate with Russia on a stronger basis,” Scott Bessent said in his interview.
The Secretary also emphasized that the new agreement pertains not only to rare metals but also to infrastructure and energy sectors. “Thus, the agreement is beneficial for both countries, and both sides can achieve victory,” the American official concluded.
It should be noted that the economic agreement was signed as a result of prolonged diplomatic negotiations between the governments of the USA and Ukraine. According to this agreement, which was established on the night of May 1, a special investment fund will be created to restore Ukraine, which was subjected to military actions by Russia three years ago. The agreement was signed by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Ukrainian Minister of Economy Yulia Sviridenko.
