"Last week, the Trump administration signed a deal with Ukraine that gives it
privileged access to Ukraine’s natural resources.

Some news outlets described the deal as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
“caving” to US President Donald Trump’s demands.

But we see the agreement as the result of clever bargaining on the part of
Ukraine’s war-time president.

So, what does the deal mean for Ukraine? And will this help strengthen
America’s mineral supply chains?"
