President Trump hinted at a possible deal with Ukraine regarding rare earth minerals to compensate the US for its military aid. He expressed that he wants a return on the investments made, suggesting a figure close to $500 billion in minerals. Ukraine's leadership has shown interest in collaborating with the US on this deal. However, they are also seeking firm security guarantees to ensure their protection amid ongoing threats from Russia, with fears that any peace agreement without strong commitments could allow the Kremlin to regroup for future attacks.
They may make a deal, they may not make a deal. They may be Russian someday, or they may not be Russian someday... I want $500bn worth of rare earth.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is interested to work with the US on the deal… calling for tough security guarantees from Washington as part of any ceasefire.
