Historic US – Ukraine Reconstruction Agreement

Scott Bessent: "Thanks to President Trump’s tireless efforts to secure a lasting peace, I am pleased to announce the signing of today’s historic Economic Partnership Agreement between the United States and Ukraine, establishing the United States–Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund.

This partnership allows the United States to invest alongside Ukraine to unlock Ukraine’s growth assets, and to mobilize American talent, capital, and governance standards. This will improve Ukraine’s investment climate and accelerate its economic recovery.

The Development Finance Corporation will participate and help establish this fund in collaboration with the government of Ukraine. Today’s agreement sends a clear message to Russian leadership that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine in the long term.

It is time for this cruel and senseless war to end. The killings must stop, and both the United States and the government of Ukraine look forward to quickly operationalizing this historic economic partnership for the benefit of both the Ukrainian and American people."
