UKRAINE’S EARTH MINERALS FOR US AID: TRUMP, #PUTIN Vlog 944: War in Ukraine

🌍 What made #Trump interested in #Ukraine? #RareEarth #minerals. 🏗️ #Lithium, #titanium, #uranium#Ukraine has them, and they could change the game.
📊 Some say this is a brilliant move to secure #US support and finally crush #Russia. Others fear Ukraine has to trade its resources for weapons it should’ve received anyway. Let’s talk about what this deal ...

1/2

As #Ukraine considered how to sway a #Trump to continue supporting their country, one strategy was to appeal to Trump’s #transactional nature & offer him a deal — rare earth minerals — for aid.

Now Trump says he’s interested.

Speaking to reporters Monday, Trump said the United States wants Ukrainian rare earth minerals — such as #lithium, #uranium & #titanium — in exchange for the #security assistance that Ukraine depends on for its defense against #Russia’s invasion.

Nipped out for just under 70km with a mate yesterday, the first long ride on the new bike. About 90% of it was off-road; down towpaths, old railway lives and other tracks. Great fun, and we missed the rain. Mind you, I could have done without the relentless 14-16%ers in the last 5km! I've never been more happy to have a huge sprocket on the back!
