But Mr. Trump has long voiced reluctance to continue sending billions of dollars in weapons and other equipment to the beleaguered nation, arguing that it costs the U.S. too much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In many ways, Mr. Trump\u2019s offer to trade aid for rare earth minerals aligns with the transactional foreign policy strategy he has pursued since returning to office. He has been leveraging the U.S.\u2019s economic power to pressure allies, including Colombia and Mexico, into agreeing to, or at least negotiating on, his demands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By expressing interest in Ukraine\u2019s rare earth minerals, Mr. Trump is also picking up on an offer that originally came from Mr. Zelensky himself. In recent months, as the Ukrainian president looked for ways to appeal to the incoming Trump administration, he has emphasized that helping defend Ukraine is in America\u2019s economic interest since his country is <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/14\/world\/europe\/trump-ukraine-russia.html\" title=\"\">rich in critical minerals that could boost U.S. industries<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Reacting to Mr. Trump\u2019s statement, a top Ukrainian official said Monday night that Ukraine is ready to work with the U.S. on rare earth mineral deals, provided the U.S. offers sufficient security guarantees to prevent these resources from falling into Russian hands. He spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ukrainian authorities say the country holds deposits of more than 20 critical rare earth minerals, with some consulting and equity firms <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/ukraines-mineral-wealth-global-markets-the-secdev-group\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">valuing them at several trillion dollars<\/a>. But experts caution that the true value is hard to estimate as many reserves remain inaccessible, in part because of the Russian occupation of parts of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ukraine had planned to sign an agreement with the Biden administration late last year to cooperate on extracting and processing minerals. But the Ukrainian authorities postponed the signing of such a deal, in what <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/14\/world\/europe\/trump-ukraine-russia.html\" title=\"\">officials on both sides<\/a> said was a signal that Kyiv was waiting for Mr. Trump to take office to strike an agreement with him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In December, a Ukrainian government delegation met with U.S. businessmen in Washington, presenting potential business deals that included acquiring production licenses for critical minerals, either directly or through partnerships with existing license holders, according to a government presentation seen by The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But how quickly and effectively Ukraine can finalize these deals remains uncertain. At a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.webuildukrainefund.org\/post\/ukraine-can-become-an-important-player-in-the-subsoil-use-market-stakeholders-discussed-the-action\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">conference<\/a> in Kyiv last week, Ukrainian business leaders and lawmakers stressed that much exploration remains to be done to assess the true value of the country\u2019s critical minerals. And administrative and legislative obstacles still hinder foreign investment in the sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">What\u2019s more, Russia\u2019s advances on the battlefield have allowed Moscow\u2019s troops to seize significant reserves of rare earth minerals in Ukraine, and they are rapidly approaching other reserves. Russian forces are currently less than seven miles from a major lithium reserve in Ukraine\u2019s southeastern Donetsk region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
