Today in Washington, Congressman Michael McCaul expressed approval of a new agreement between the United States and Ukraine. McCaul, who serves as chairman emeritus of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, commented on an economic partnership focused on minerals.

He stated: “The signing of today’s long-awaited minerals deal is a proud moment for Americans, Ukrainians, and all peace-loving people around the world. The result of months of tireless work, this historic deal will strengthen the partnership between our two nations, help Ukraine rebuild and restore its communities, and ensure the American taxpayer benefits from the United States' investment in freedom.”

The deal is noted for its potential to support Ukraine’s development and sends a diplomatic signal aimed at Russia. McCaul also remarked, “It also telegraphs a strong message to the Kremlin that this administration is not messing around; Putin must stop his incessant attacks on Ukraine, come to the table, and work toward peace – today.”

The agreement is marked as a significant development in the ongoing relationship between the United States and Ukraine.
