We've seen him talk about mining under the sea. This administration is really thinking about all of the above, home, abroad, production, processing, on land, underwater, but really going at it with all the tools in the toolkit.

So President Trump has pushed for the reconstruction deal that we signed with Ukraine, which essentially creates a fund that in the long term is capitalized by future mineral oil and gas revenue in Ukraine, as well as co-capitalized by the United States.

Now, Ukraine is a complicated place, though, and here's why. Some minerals are a little bit more, you know, what we might call shovel-ready, right? Something like lithium. But even then you have complexity because two of the four lithium reserves in Ukraine are actually on Russian-occupied land. We actually don't have a good understanding of what is economically viable.

So DRC has become a hot area in terms of mobilizing U.S. government efforts. So what's happened is there has been a conflict, a long-running conflict between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Now, what President of Congo, the DRC, came to President Trump and said is like, we need military support. And in exchange, we will give you access to minerals. So essentially a mineral for military support deal.

What we have seen already happen is that through the Trump administration, they have negotiated essentially a principles framework for peace that gives U.S. access to minerals in both Rwanda and the DRC, a separate deal. And there will be a third deal that is a peace deal between the DRC and Rwanda.

This is a game changer because DRC has a very, very developed mining sector. So 70% of the world's cobalt comes out of the Congo. They have fantastic lithium and nickel reserves. So it's a place where we see that we could actually get minerals for American offtake quite quickly, which makes it quite an interesting place for the administration to be targeting efforts.

Greenland is a strategic area for two reasons. One is from a national security position. It's geographically well positioned. The second is a critical mineral story. But we have to acknowledge, you know, there's a lot of minerals in Greenland. However, it's not all easily or cost effectively mined.
