Putin Offers Rare-Earth Minerals Deal to US Following Trump-Zelenskyy White House Clash

In a recent viral video, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his willingness to cooperate with the United States on rare-earth minerals. This announcement comes in the wake of a heated exchange between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House.

During the video, Putin stated, “We will be open to cooperation with our American partners, and when I say ‘partners’ I not only mean administrative and governmental agencies, but also private companies if they show interest in working together.” He emphasized that Russia possesses significantly larger reserves of rare-earth minerals compared to Ukraine, highlighting regions such as Murmansk, the Caucasus, Irkutsk, Yakutia, and Tuva as key areas rich in these resources.

Putin further noted that substantial investment is required to develop these deposits and expressed Russia’s readiness to partner with foreign companies, including those from the US. He also referenced new territories claimed by Russia since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, stating, “We are ready to work with our partners, including Americans.”

The discussion about rare-earth minerals followed a tense meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy at the White House. The two leaders clashed over the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, with Trump reportedly growing frustrated and abruptly ending the conversation. In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “We had a very meaningful meeting in the White House today. Much was learned that could never be understood without conversation under such fire and pressure. It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

This development has sparked discussions about the potential implications of a rare-earth minerals deal between Russia and the US, especially in the context of the ongoing geopolitical tensions.
