Today, I drove through a couple of neighborhoods in Twin Cities suburbs and saw several Ukrainian flags in front of houses. As a Ukrainian Minnesotan, I want to thank every Minnesotan who keeps showing solidarity with Ukraine. It means a lot to me 💙💛

#Ukraine & the #UnitedStates have agreed to a framework for an expansive #minerals deal, acc/to a Ukrainian ofcl & another person familiar w/the matter. The White House has not confirmed the agreement has not commented.
The #Trump admin has pushed Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelensky to repay US #war #aid with such an agreement, amid broader pressure to come to a *peace* deal w/ #Russia.

This is like bringing a casserole to a friend who lost a loved one when an arson torched their house, & then a month or so later telling them they owe you $50 for it.

…The original rare earth #minerals“deal” focused on compensating the #US for PAST #aid to Kyiv, & specified the natural resources that would form part of the deal on over a dozen pages…. #Zelensky said Wed the contract asked for the US to own, or receive revenue from, 50% of #Ukraine rare earth mineral mining & other natural resource sectors. The sources said the document said it asked for compensation not for future US assistance to Ukraine, but for previous aid.
…The clash over the rare earth #minerals agreement comes amid a serious deterioration of #US relations w/ #Zelensky, driven by #Trump’s adoption of #RussianPropaganda on the war, including the false charges that the Ukrainian leader started the conflict & that he is a dictator. The autocrat in this situation is #Putin, who has run #Russia for 25 years, imprisoned his opponents, crushed the #FreePress & held sham elections. And he started the #war.
Still, the #Trump White House says #Zelensky *has no choice* but to sign the pact to *pay back* US taxpayers for Kyiv’s lifeline — even though it contains no assurances that Washington will keep the #aid coming in the future.

…#Trump’s transactional approach represents a shattering of #ForeignPolicy values pursued by the #UnitedStates for decades, including the principle that mighty nations should not invade smaller ones, which Washington enshrined in the #UnitedNations charter.

The Ukrainian president has made clear that exploiting his country’s precious geographical & #energy resources will be one way to rebuild its economy & cities after the eventual end of the war. But the offer tendered by #Trump’s Treasury Secy #ScottBessent, while being lauded by US officials as a generous ladder to prosperity for #Ukraine, is not really a “deal” at all.

The #Ukraine minerals deal is a perfect metaphor for #Trump’s #ForeignPolicy
Trump isn’t the only president who knows a bad deal when he sees one.
Volodymyr #Zelensky’s refusal to sign away nearly half of his country’s rare earth #minerals for very few future guarantees is one of many reasons why Trump has been driven into a rage at his counterpart in Kyiv.

Per Richard Engel on likelihood of #Ukraine signing the rare earth minerals deal with the #UnitedStates: Ukraine was essentially asked to sign the deal under #duress, they were told they had to sign within 1 hour or #Trump would be very angry. The deal was apparently very thin on details such as what Ukraine would be getting in return for giving up ~$500B in their #minerals.
