German Chancellor Olaf Scholz risked the wrath of Donald Trump as blasted the U.S, President for being 'selfish'.
-snip-
'The words of US President Donald Trump about the use of Ukraine's natural resources in exchange for military assistance are selfish.'
Scholz argued the valuable minerals should be sold by Ukraine to pay for what it will need to rebuild after the war.
He also suggested that 'all of us' - as in European allies who helped Ukraine - should be allowed access to the materials.
But Ukraine seems more open to the idea of doing it Trump's way.
Sharing Ukrainian resources with allies is part of President Volodymyr Zelensky's broader 'victory plan' for the war and he's presented his ideas to foreign leaders, including Trump.

Meanwhile, Scholz also warned the European Union would retaliate and had 'its own courses of action' if Trump started a trade war.

A German, who still uses the term “Chancellor”, says Trump is egotistical and selfish.
And they say Germans have no sense of humor.
did they ever meet Obama or Hillary?
PDJT has a preternaturally thick skin. Seriously doubt that this will bother him.
I think they still have Chancellors in Austria, too.
The immediate response should be “So what,if I am egotistical and self centered? I’m a politician, not a priest or a monk.”
Nice try, but Trump has been called a lot worse. He won’t even notice this amateur.
The President should just ignore them. Any response just feeds into their argument.
IOW they’re afraid of losing USAID money.
They can print as many Euros as they want.
“He also suggested that ‘all of us’ - as in European allies who helped Ukraine - should be allowed access to the materials”
How can someone be so self righteous and yet so blatantly hypocritical at the same time?
This guy is going out the door, being a caretaker until the election and the new government comes in. He can say anything he wants and is playing to his base.
I was surprised Joe Biden didn’t do more bad mouthing on his way out, he could have.
After the war Russia's liable to be in control of Ukraine's minerals. If anyone ought to be able to see that, you'd think it'd be the German Chancellor.
The USA protected West Germany until they were free of the Soviets and could unify and they act like this. The Fascist EU lead by the new world order reich Germany needs the USA more than we need any old country.
But he’s not a pu##y now is he. Tell us what you are really afraid of?
Nazi bastard.
Or Biden for that matter?! Didn’t think so.
Big
Deal
Of course Biden, he became worse after his mental malfunction.
Hello! Nations are selfish. Somebody needs to read Machiavelli.
