U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he wants Ukraine to supply the United States with rare earth minerals as a form of payment for financially supporting the country's war efforts against Russia.
Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, said Ukraine was willing, adding that he wants "equalization" from Ukraine for Washington's "close to $300 billion" in support.
"We're telling Ukraine they have very valuable rare earths," Trump said. "We're looking to do a deal with Ukraine where they're going to secure what we're giving them with their rare earths and other things."

What Munich Security Conference doink?
I’m sure he knows, better than you. But why shouldn’t Ukraine pay us back for the 300 billion we’ve sent them?

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has once again increased its growth outlook for the Russian economy in 2025 despite global challenges.
In its latest World Economic Outlook issued on Friday, the Washington-based institution has said that it now expects the country’s GDP to grow 1.4% this year, an upward revision of 0.1 percentage points from its October 2024 report. The forecast for 2026 remained unchanged at 1.2%.
Commenting on the report, IMF economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas told RIA Novosti that the revision is largely due to the fact that “we received somewhat stronger data than expected.”
Last month, IMF Communications Director Julie Kozak projected that the fund would update its forecast for Russian economic growth due to “strong private consumption and rapid growth in wages.”
He may end up working with the Russians if the Ukrainian doesn’t surrender soon. Ain’t gonna be much left of Ukie Land soon.😉
Does anyone want to tell Trump that the rare earth minerals are now all in land that is controlled or soon to be controlled by Russia. There ain’t going to be much left for Ukraine to pay back its debts.
OK, we can just march in there and take 'em all.
All them Uke Nazis, Zelensky and Zeepers can be arrested for their crimes and sentenced to Restitutional Labor to work in the mines, and work off their debt to America.
When we leave, we will leave the Uke workers there, and they will have plenty of skilled workers to rebuild.
