Ukraine's President Zelensky Refuses to Accept Trump's Proposal for Rare Earth Minerals Trade Deal

ai generated text

Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, has announced that he blocked a proposed agreement between Ukraine and the United States that would have granted the US access to vast amounts of Ukrainian natural resources. The agreement was reportedly led by former US President Donald Trump and was intended to secure US access to half of Ukraine's mineral resources after the war.

    1. Ukraine is under attack and we are helping it, without asking to be paid in return. This should be everyone's position.
    1. The agreement is signed at the ministerial level. But I am the president and I will have an impact on the quality of this document. That is why I did not allow ministers to sign the agreement because it is not ready.
    2. What kind of support package, what kind of missiles [will be offered in place of entry into NATO]? Will they give us nuclear weapons? Then let them give us nuclear weapons.
    1. The chances of them getting their nuclear weapons back are somewhere between slim and zero.
    1. We need to recoup those costs. And that is going to be a partnership with the Ukrainians, in terms of their rare earths, their natural resources, and their oil and gas, and also buying ours. Those conversations are going to happen this week.
    1. The Americans helped the most, and therefore the Americans should earn the most. And they should have this priority, and they will.
    2. 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.
