US Treasury Secretary Bessent will hold talks on rare earth minerals during his visit to Ukraine. According to sources, the visit will address the supply of strategically important minerals and cooperation between the two countries.
Rare earth minerals play a critical role in the technology, defense and renewable energy sectors. Ukraine has become the focus of international attention in recent years due to its rich reserves of these minerals. It is stated that the US aims to deepen economic and strategic cooperation with Ukraine with this visit. During Bessent’s visit, the two countries will discuss trade and investment opportunities as well as steps to strengthen global supply chains. These talks are seen as part of efforts to develop alternative sources, especially against China’s dominance in the rare earth minerals market. In the context of Ukraine’s efforts to strengthen its relations with the West, this cooperation with the US is seen as an important step that could strengthen the country’s economic and geopolitical position. The results of the visit are expected to provide long-term strategic benefits for both Ukraine and the United States.
