Trump says he wants Ukraine's rare earth minerals in exchange for further aid
President Donald Trump said Monday that Ukraine should provide the US with its rare earth minerals in exchange for Washington’s continued support in the war against Russia.
Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said Washington and Kyiv are engaged in ongoing talks over the matter, adding: "We're actually working some deals right now, so we have some guarantees and some other things to keep that whole situation going."
Trump complained that the US is providing Ukraine with more economic and military aid than Europe.
