President Donald Trump on Monday indicated that he wants to reach an agreement with Ukraine to gain access to the country’s rare earth materials as a condition for continuing U.S. support for its war against Russia.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump complained that the U.S. had sent more in military and economic assistance to Ukraine than its European partners, adding, “We’re looking to do a deal with Ukraine where they’re going to secure what we’re giving them with their rare earth and other things.”
Trump suggested that he’s received word from the Ukrainian government that they’d be willing to make a deal to give the U.S. access to the elements critical to the modern high-tech economy.
“I want to have security of rare earth,” Trump added. “We’re putting in hundreds of billions of dollars. They have great rare earth. And I want security of the rare earth, and they’re willing to do it.”

It was posted right here on the FR a year or so ago. BlackRock went and made deals with Zelenskky for the clean up and rebuild after the war. Search should work...
Russia doesn’t want all of Ukraine
What Munich Security Conference doink?
I saw a map of Ukraine mineral deposits...seem to few more than a few rare earth elements in western Ukraine....if one googles “Ukraine rare earth elements map”...you would get a better idea...lots of info out there...
Happy hunting...
Yes that is correct. That's why Ukraine wanted to exterminate the ethnic Russians there just before the war started.

Just take them. What Ukie gonna do about it?
What Munich Security Conference doink?
Yep, we’ll take what we need, we paid for it.
Here is an interesting one. This means money we were sending to the Ukraine was going to BlackRock.
"Zelenskyy, BlackRock Announce New Investment Initiative to Rebuild Ukraine"
Now that's funny right there, and Santa Clause is coming to town.
I guess if there is no Ukraine there won't be a BlackRock there either. This will be looked at by the Trump team in the audit process, I'm sure.
Why would I listen to you for anything?
I’m intelligent.
Doink your Momz😂
More Winning!
Good Idea, we can support Ukraine by building work camps for Ukes that work in the mines.
We train 'em to be skilled miners and we get the rare earth elements.
Everybody wins!
EL Trumpo!!
