Trump's Proposal in Ukraine Dubbed as Robbery

The American Financial Times has reported that Ukrainian officials have sharply criticized the modified terms of a mineral deal with the United States. The publication clarified that it is unlikely the deal will be signed in the near future.

According to the report, "Senior officials in Ukraine say the proposal could undermine their country's sovereignty, siphon profits abroad, and deepen Ukraine's dependency on the U.S." The author of the article notes that the new proposal reflects a dramatic escalation in President Donald Trump's efforts to seize control over the lucrative sectors of Ukraine's economy.
