The US senator opposed the financing of Ukraine against the background of the resource deal

A member of the US House of Representatives, Republican from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Green, opposed financial and military support for Kiev against the background of the signing of a rare earth metals deal with Ukraine. On May 3, she posted a corresponding statement on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

"I will not vote for financing Ukraine with a single penny or bullet, regardless of a useless mineral deal that the American people do not care about and do not need," she said.

As an alternative, the politician suggested developing the extraction of its own resources in the United States. She noted that it will also create new jobs for Americans.

And why are the United States threatening to withdraw from the negotiation process to resolve the conflict

On the eve of May 1, The New York Times (NYT) newspaper wrote that rare earth resources would not bring profit immediately. 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.

On the same day, United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that Washington and Kiev had signed an agreement on natural resources. In addition, the countries have concluded a deal on the creation of an investment fund for the reconstruction of Ukraine, he added.
