Summary

Diplomacy shift

The Trump administration is shifting its diplomatic approach regarding Ukraine, moving away from shuttle diplomacy. The U.S. will no longer act as mediators between Ukraine and Russia.

Minerals deal details

The Trump administration plans to send $50 million in defense goods to Ukraine and has reached a minerals deal where the U.S. and Ukraine will share sales proceeds from various minerals.

Reconstruction funding

Part of the proceeds from the minerals deal will help reconstruct war-damaged areas in Ukraine, with funds split equally between the U.S. and Ukraine.

Days after striking a deal with Ukraine involving rare earth minerals, the Trump administration appears to be conducting a major shift in diplomacy. Months after the president’s promise to end the Ukraine-Russia war, quickly after becoming president, the U.S. announced that it would no longer engage in what is often referred to as shuttle diplomacy between the two countries.

What Is the State Department’s Position?

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said Thursday, May 1, that the U.S. will no longer be the “mediators” in these negotiations. She added that the methodology of how the U.S. contributes to peace talks will change.

Bruce said the administration remains committed to ending the war and will do what it can but will no longer “fly around the world at the drop of a hat to mediate meetings. She added that these negotiations are “now between the two parties,” adding, “now is the time that they need to present and develop concrete ideas about how this conflict is going to end.”

“It’s going to be up to them,” Bruce said.
