Trump Demands Ukraine Hands Over 50% of Critical Minerals to the US in New Deal with Zelensky

welcome back to world affairs in context everyone Donald Trump just said that Ukraine must either sign a deal with the United States to hand over control of half of its natural resources or there will be quote unquote a lot of problems those are Donald Trump’s words it seems that Trump is not really begging down when it comes to reportedly trillions of dollars worth in rare earth minerals located in Ukraine even though an end to the Ukraine conflict appears to be finally in sight there are concerns that

the United States new strategy is effectively a reverse Kissinger move to decouple so to speak Russia from China what we’re going to try to do is basically force him into actions what you want to do is force him to actions maybe he’s uncomfortable with what I mean by that is an example right now is what we’re going to do is try to break this Alliance that he currently has he’s got an alliance around around with North Korea that wasn’t there before he’s got an alliance with Iran that wasn’t there before he’s got an alliance

with China that wasn’t there before meaning four years ago before but the good news is that the conflict appears to be entering its final stage previously Trump indicated that the United States would accept Ukraine’s Rare Earth minerals as a quote unquote guarantee for providing close to $300 billion doll worth in financial and military aid Trump said that he wanted the equivalent of $500 billion worth of rare earth minerals even though there are reports that some resources located in Ukraine are not in fact economically

viable for Mining and production the offer that was made by the Trump Administration was far worse by the way for Ukraine than the burden of World War I reparations was for the defeated Germany imagine that I previously shared specifics in a video zalinsky truly infuriated Trump by walking away from that first deal during the Munich conference citing a lack of security guarantees for Ukraine the deal that Trump offered zalinsky gave control of everything of value in Ukraine to the United States and Ukraine as we know

very well is the most resourcer nation in Europe Mike Waltz White House National Security advisor reiterated Trump’s sentiment stating zalinsky must strike minerals deal said Waltz clearly there’s just too much money on the table too much potential benefit and profit on the table for Trump to walk away from the possibility of gaining control of all future license agreements having the right of first refusal as well as gaining access to 50% of all Ukrainian resources war is business and Trump is

well versed in how to get the most out of a desperate military dictator to that end here’s what Donald Trump said underscoring the desperation that the Kev regime is facing they referring to zalinski don’t have any cards he said but they’re playing tough even though there are reports of up to 70% of critical resources now being on Russian territory the deal between the United States and Ukraine is likely to go through because ziny is selling Ukraine not for National Security guarantees but for his own

security guarantees probably somewhere in the French riera the relationship between Donald Trump and zalinski substantially deteriorated over the past week Trump called zeleny a dictator zalinski then responded with one of his signature moves one of his favorite tricks he banned truth social in Ukraine this was a quiet laughable yet standard move because that’s what he’s done that’s what he’s been doing to every single political opponent since he took office and uh as you may know there has been no political opposition in Ukraine

which is healthy to have so there’s been no political opposition or nonaligned media in Ukraine since ziny took office additionally Trump stated that zelinsky’s participation in peace negotiations is not that important he said that on February the 21st Friday despite the Fallout both sides are returning back to business Keith Kellogg US Special Envoy met with ziny this week and even though the United States cancelled a join press conference with zolinski that day in Kiev the letter advertised the meeting as a success on

Friday February the 21st Bloomberg reported the United States Ukraine again ramp up talks on minerals deal during Envoy trip with there being a now improved draft of the minerals agreement after Kell’s departure from Kev Trump said Ukraine must either sign the deal on critical minerals or it is going to face quote a lot of problems take a look it does affect Europe and we’ve put in three times more money we’re in for 300 billion they’re in for 100 billion and you know Europe is also doing it in the

form of a loan Biden just gave him money there was no loan there was no security there was no anything so we’re going to either sign a deal or there’s going to be uh a lot of problems with them so we’re going to sign a deal to get security because we have to do that we’re spending our treasure they’re spending their blood they are and they’re very brave and you know in every way you could imagine but we are spending our treasure on some on a country that’s very very far away and it’s okay but we have to be treated the

same as Europe is being treated Europe gets their money back Europe is basically giving nothing because they get it back in the form of a loan and it’s a guaranteed loan we don’t get our money back and we’re losing I mean we don’t want to do that anymore so we’re signing an agreement hopefully in the next fairly short period of time that will assure us that we’ll get 4 or500 billion doll back we’re in there for 300 billion now one other thing Europe is at 100 we’re at 300 we think it has to equalize in other words they have to

come up with more money because it has a big effect on Europe it doesn’t have much of an effect on us because we have a big beautiful ocean in between but it does affect and Biden should have never gotten us into this mess we had an incompetent president who got us into a mess but we’re going to get you out of it the same thing in the so critical mineral are back on the negotiating table between the United States and Kiev Bloomberg reported that after Kiev suggested changes in Munich the United

States will send a revised and improved version to zalinski which includes language on future assistance this is of course quite odd given that once the Ukraine conflict comes to an end when there is ceasefire and other Associated agreements what future assistance are we really talking about if you are a United States taxpayer let me know what you think in the comments below are you ready to provide future assistance and what that might be so these details remain quite vague at this time we can

assume that this assistance would be economic reconstruction and likely infrastructure reconstruction but the problem is it remains unclear just what part of Ukraine this would even pertain to so again selling what remains of Ukraine is likely the only card that ziny has at this time and even that card might not be enough for him to get a seat at the negotiating table it is adults only after all thanks for watching thanks so much for your support remember to like subscribe and share it means a lot and I

will see you back here tomorrow enjoy the rest of your day bye for now [Music]
