The message comes after Trump signed a presidential order to "dramatically increase" American production of vital minerals.
We will also write agreements with different places to gain access to rare earth elements and minerals and a lot of other things all over the world, but especially in Ukraine, he said and continued:
One of the things we will do is to very soon sign an agreement regarding rare earth elements with Ukraine.
Trump and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyj were reportedly supposed to sign an agreement on February 28, but their chaotic meeting at the White House then stopped the plans.
Since then, both have given signals that they are willing to sign an agreement on Ukrainian natural resources in exchange for American protection.
