Trump wants Ukraine’s minerals: Ed Conway explains why

Donald Trump wants to do a deal with Ukraine which would see the United States get access to the country’s mineral wealth, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hoping for continued American military support in return. 
  
Kyiv estimates that about 5% of the world's "critical raw materials" are in Ukraine. It also has significant deposits of rare earth metals which are used to produce weapons, wind turbines and electronics.  
  
In today’s episode of the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson talks to Ed Conway, Sky’s economics and data editor, about how valuable Ukraine’s mineral wealth could be for the US.
