Trump offers Ukraine a new deal
The US president told media representatives at the White House about his intentions.
He drew attention to the fact that Ukraine has "very valuable rare earth metals." In addition, Donald Trump added that he wants official Washington's investments in Ukraine to be "guaranteed" to some extent.
We want to make a deal with Ukraine where they guarantee what we give them with their rare earth metals and other things.

Despite this, the American leader is in no hurry to reveal specific details.
Against this background, the head of the White House once again complained that EU countries do not provide Ukraine with the same amount of military assistance as the United States does.
We are separated by an ocean… It is more important for them than for us. But they are significantly behind us in funding (aid to Ukraine. — ed.), and they should pay at least equally,” the American leader said.
