US President Donald Trump asserted on Friday that the critical minerals agreement signed between Washington and Kyiv allows the US to access Ukraine’s rare earth resources “at any time.”

In brief: US President Donald Trump stated in an interview with Real America’s Voice that the critical minerals deal signed with Kyiv allows the US to access Ukraine’s rare earth resources “at any time” and take “pretty much whatever we want,” valuing the agreement at over $300 billion. The bilateral deal, signed in April 2025, actually establishes a 50/50 revenue-sharing recovery fund managed by the US Development Finance Corporation and Ukraine’s PPP Agency.

    Greedy, selish, senile retard of a being. Not even classifying it as human anymore. Has the USA ‘become’ hollywood? Like all those lives affected by choices being made here, are they even in their version of the situation that’s going on? Resources this, money that. Stop ruining lives, get out of that fairy tale dementia and gtfo.

    Crazy.

    The deal isn’t ratified or legally binding, and the US has not approved any new aid since Trump has been in office and is slow walking appropriated funds from Biden’s admin, so he’s just talking bullshit again

    Should we prepare for the USA-Ukraine war after the Russia-Ukraine war?

      Until then the US most probably will have emptied their ammunition storage… and the refill will be crippled by unhinged corruption. I’d bet on Ukraine in that one.

    I want to make a petition that forces every newspaper to title reports about what Trump said as “Trump farts from mouth” to give it the appropriate relevance.

    ukraine needs to be free and at peace before the dipshit can get his tiny little shit-stained hands on anything. he won’t even be in office when that does happen, and this ‘deal’ will no-doubt be negotiated at that time.

      Why would they ever make a deal in that case? They haven’t gotten any help from this administration, and if the war is over, no need for patriots.
