A compelling new report from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation, "The Economic Benefits of Peace in Ukraine" by Daniel J. Mitchell and Robert O’Quinn, reveals that ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict could inject over $20 billion annually into U.S. exports, secure hundreds of billions in reconstruction contracts, and protect the dollar’s global reserve status — averting trillions in potential economic losses.
The analysis highlights a staggering $520 billion opportunity for American firms in rebuilding Ukraine, alongside reclaiming $100 billion in lost energy ventures like ExxonMobil’s Arctic projects. Boeing stands to lose $50 billion to $100 billion if sanctions persist, driving nations toward China’s aviation sector. Meanwhile, continued conflict threatens the dollar’s “exorbitant privilege,” risking a 1% interest rate hike that could add $300 billion to the U.S.’s $30 trillion debt burden. “Peace is an economic lifeline for America,” Mitchell states. With the Trump Administration pushing negotiations, this report urges swift action to halt a war costing U.S. industries dearly.
