The United States questioned the profitability of the agreement with Ukraine on minerals

The United States has expressed doubts about the profitability of the mining agreement with Ukraine. In The New York Times on Thursday, May 1, it was noted that rare earth resources will not bring profit immediately.

"It may take many years to extract the untouched resources of Ukraine, which are the subject of the deal, and make a profit from them," the article says.

The authors of the publication mentioned that the text of the agreement, already published by the Government of Ukraine, does not give a complete picture of exactly how it will be implemented in practice.

According to the authors of the article, as a result, it may turn out that the profit from the agreement for the United States will not be as high as President Donald Trump expected.
