According to the left, Trump is the worst negotiator of all time, so much so that many have claimed he is advocating on behalf of Russia. However, the United States and Ukraine signed a deal for mineral resources.

Today’s show breaks it down.

"This ties our interest to Ukraine, but it's not a blank check," Crowder said. "This is effectively a way of beginning to draw a line between those with Russia without simply drawing those lies. It solves the issue and it's mutually beneficial."

According to Axios:

After some last-minute hiccups, the U.S. and Ukraine signed a closely watched minerals deal on Wednesday, the U.S. The Treasury Department said.

U.S. officials contend the agreement will increase U.S. involvement in Ukraine's economy and serve as a partial security guarantee for Ukraine because the U.S. will want to secure its investments.

The government-to-government agreement will establish a joint fund, with each country contributing 50% of the financing and future U.S. military assistance to Ukraine counting as a contribution to the fund.

"This is what [Ukraine] brings to the table," Crowder said. "[They] add value through rare earth minerals, we can work with [them] on that, and [they] need a little protection because [they] have not built up their military like they should have."

The fund will be governed jointly and will have three U.S. members and three Ukrainian members on its board.

The money in the fund will be used for investments in the extraction of Ukraine's rare earth minerals, oil and gas. The revenue will be split 50/50.

Ukraine's deputy economy minister Taras Kachka told Axios the agreement gives the U.S. preferential access to investments in any operator that extracts rare earths in Ukraine and the first right of refusal for such investments.

"It is a true free enterprise mindset, and ironically, for a country that was based on free enterprise, we have not seen it as a function of government in my lifetime. It's just been a check and a policy, and then you foot the bill. That is how you end up with this kind of debt," Crowder said.
