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.

I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop when Trump tells him he and Germany are now in charge of NATO because the US is taking a permanent vacation from it as we have to tend to TACO, our new backyard alliance of Western hemisphere nations that are taco cuisine friendly
Hey, Olaf, Trump is going to call you and tell you blow him.
You give the money, you get the materials. Simple.
Olaf... Olaf... now where do I remember that name from.... oh yeah.... from a book long ago called Olaf Reads.
WGAS? This loser is deeply unpopular and is clearly on his way out.
Humble and timid doesn’t get s—t done. We need a bold leader who will fix problems and make things happen.
Soy boy tears. Black Rock and others already paid for their resources. Try catching up Schultz. You supposedly are a world leader.
Maybe they should have paid up and carried their own weight.
My first thought too.
But Shultz was actually on the American’s side.
We have no “European Allies”; just boot lickers and potential boot lickers. The ones that are smart enough to play ball with Trump can lick the top of the shoes. Those that want to play tough guy will end up licking the bottoms of Trump’s shoe, but as I said All wiil lick boots.
He might be egotistic and self-centered President, but he’s ours, so IDC with this German person thinks.
Yo Germany! We whupped your.... assets 2x last century. Don’t make us do it again.
But I’d be ok with pulling our military out of your country, abandoning NATO, and letting all of you Eurotards rot.
Well he is... Like Attila, Alexander, Napoleon, or George Washington...
Maybe if he puts on a helmet with a spike on top, the Germans will like him again.
biden was too demented to say much about anything.
He is on his way out, so who cares?
How do you say ‘mandate’ in German?
Who is We? You got a mouse in your pocket?

throw in those mansions and yachts
