  "account": "Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated in an interview with Real America’s Voice that the minerals agreement between the United States and Ukraine grants Washington access to Ukraine's rare earth resources \"at any time.\" He emphasized that the United States could \"take practically anything we want.\" Trump highlighted Ukraine's richness in fertile land and significant rare earth deposits. The agreement, signed on April 30, 2025, could be worth more than $300 billion, according to Trump. The United States and Ukraine jointly established the investment fund, with each nation holding a 50% stake. Ukraine is represented by the Public-Private Partnership Agency, while the U.S. is represented by the U.S. International Development Finance Corp. The agreement was announced on May 1, with the White House describing it as a historic partnership aimed at supporting Ukraine's reconstruction and long-term economic success. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called it the first result of his conversation with Trump at the Vatican, and Ukraine's parliament ratified the agreement on May 8, with all factions supporting the measure. Zelenskyy signed the law ratifying the agreement on May 12, and a bill to amend Ukraine's Budget Code for the implementation of the minerals agreement was approved in its first reading on May 13.",
