                    TRUMP SUPPORTS SOVEREIGN UKRAINE

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, last night, the United 
States and Ukraine signed the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction 
Investment Fund.
  Underscoring the alliance of our countries, the agreement provides 
Ukraine a credible deterrence.
  David Zimmerman in National Review reported that the agreement gives 
the U.S. access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals for a promised 
security guarantee to protect Kyiv from future Russian aggression, 
signaling President Donald Trump's commitment to ending the war.
  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent elaborated: ``This agreement signals 
clearly to Russia that the Trump administration is committed to a peace 
process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the 
long term.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism 
continues. Open borders for dictators put all Americans at risk of more 
9/11 attacks imminent, as warned by the FBI. Trump is reinstituting 
existing laws to protect American families through peace through 
strength, revealing war criminal Putin lies as he insults President 
Trump with a fake cease-fire, murdering civilians yesterday in Odessa.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Warren Stephens on being sworn in as 
America's Ambassador to the United Kingdom.
