I have read it twice, and I can't find anything about how the minerals deal will compensate the U.S. for military support. Lawyer speech can be confusing, but to my untrained eye it looks like Trump got pretty much nothing.

Full text of the Ukraine-US Minerals Deal.
1. Seems fine (an investment and reconstruction fund);
2. Has no resemblance to what the Trump administration has been saying about it;
3. Can't tell if Ukraine is good at diplomacy, or Trump bad at it.

As it says there may be some coal and steel. But in the future, we will not use coal, and when Ukraine is in the EU, Donolds tarifs will hit the steel.

You can ask the patriots of Ukraine about him and the journalist Yuriy Butusov.

thats like taxing them for there shit and saying maybe we'll give ya a few rounds a ammo when we feel like it
and now where does it say of equivalent value of what came out of said fund
no nato no EU also
no sense talking bout ukraine this is over now
see how that will make people go no thanks as well
as trump fucks everyone else
they just fucked htemselves hard
and ok let em sell to someone but im not going ot buy ukrainian to help trump nor the usa
so i can just take say 100 billion
pay myself
and give Ukraine back 10 billion in arms
yup an investment in trump
show me where it says otherwise
they (USA)get to use that to pay themselves quit lying
for any aid they wish to give them
its like here give me 50 bucks ill put in MYbank
and when i feel like it ill take 25 pay myself and give you 5$ worth a shit
thats how this WILL work
mark my words and read it
read and know how trump works

(Trump’s threats and behavior are completely unacceptable, but that’s a different discussion.)
1. The US holds maximum percentage of ownership of the fund
2. The parties have to given written notice they are using the fund, but not get permission
3. There is no security agreement or weapons exchanged. How does Ukraine benefit?
The US attempting to exploit another country as it is being invaded is sickening and an affront to what America should stand for.
1) it talks of profit minus expenses without specifying for what
2) a working group will be established to work further, which of course can complicate.
But seems Ukraine is as fierce diplomats as they are soldiers 🇺🇦
Everyone, incl. 🇩🇰then will get bribed into unpredictable "bills" for the past. To mind come:
🇩🇪🇰🇷🇹🇷🇯🇵🇵🇭🇯🇴🇸🇦, and 🇮🇱, to be "payed" byGaza
It indicates the concept, that 🇺🇸 have indef. control over 🇺🇦's soil for which somebody,(🇪🇺w/o🇺🇸..) has to guarantee safety.
Only my last hope in decency and dignity makes me believe sth else.
But then 🇷🇺would scream!
Inverse risks are immens:
Break of 🇺🇦+supporter's morale, so break of🇪🇺.
1) Would there be an impact if Ukraine got nukes.
2) Does it let the US off the hook for the Budapest memorandum (or the reverse).
As long as he can portray himself as a winner...
"People said it couldn't be done!"
I mean, the agreement seems to box in certain things as immutable preconditions to discussing and scoping out the actual conditions?
🤔
1) Bad faith. Trump-Musk lie without suffering any consequences. Any agreement with them carries that risk that they "reinterpret" it later on
2) USA has a foot in Ukraine's reconstruction, mineral exploitation and sovereign land forever
3) Undefined "expenses" is open to exploitation
I think he'll find that both things can be true at once.
Strategic Influence and Oversight.
Investment Opportunities.
Protection of Mutual Interests.
That creates opportunities for the U.S. to benefit indirectly from the economic growth and stability of Ukraine as projects develop and generate returns.
Eventually I imagine Trump will abandon Ukraine but this complicates things for him. And probably postpones that development.
I didn't see concrete security guarantees.
1. Unrealistic demands
2. Refusal from the other party
3. Throwing a tantrum
4. Signing much less favourable agreement
5. Announcing "yuge" victory
