Ukrainian lawmakers voted Thursday to ratify a controversial economic partnership with the U.S. that gives America access to profit from the Eastern European country’s vast mineral resources.

After a tense debate that included criticism from the opposition, 338 MPs out of 400 officially voted to establish the American-Ukrainian Reconstruction Investment Fund that will be filled equally by both sides via a series of opaque means, but including mining and energy profits.

“China is deeply hurt.”

Ukraine has roughly the same land area as Afghanistan, and both are mineral rich. China now has the inside track on exploiting Afghan minerals, but President Trump has achieved a big win for America (and Europe), with this agreement.
