Russia and the U.S. want to jointly mine rare earth metals

Dmitriev said that the talks between Moscow and Washington concern rare earth metals, which are an important area for cooperation between the two countries. He emphasized that not only metals but also other projects in Russia are being discussed, Ukrainska Pravda reported.

“Rare earth metals are an important area for cooperation, and we have certainly started discussions about various rare earth metals and projects in Russia,” Dmitriev said.

Following talks between the U.S. and Ukraine on the possibility of a mining agreement, the Russian dictator's ruler suggested that the U.S. jointly explore Russian rare earth deposits as part of a future economic agreement between the countries.

Dmitriev said that some companies have already expressed interest in participating in such projects.

The issue of cooperation may be further discussed during the next round of U.S.-Russian talks, which, according to forecasts, could take place in mid-April in Saudi Arabia.
