Zelensky says he’s open to Trump’s rare earth request: ‘Let’s do a deal’
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signaled a willingness Friday to work with President Trump to supply the U.S. with rare earth elements in exchange for continued military aid in his war against Russia.
In an interview with Reuters, Zelensky said: “If we are talking about a deal, then let’s do a deal, we are only for it.”
He emphasized that Ukraine is not “giving away” its resources but is offering the U.S. a partnership.
“The Americans helped the most, and therefore the Americans should earn the most. And they should have this priority, and they will. I would also like to talk about this with President Trump,” he told Reuters.
