Trump has demanded compensation. But what can he really get?

On the eve of March 19, the official representative of the country's State Department, Tammy Bruce, said that at the moment the United States is not talking about a deal with Ukraine on rare earth resources.

Prior to that, on March 14, Ukrainian media reported that representatives of Kiev had proposed to their colleagues from Washington to sign a deal on joint mining during negotiations between delegations in Saudi Arabia, but the Americans rejected the initiative, taking a pause for thought.

Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky were supposed to conclude a deal on rare earth metals on February 28, but as a result of an altercation at the White House, the signing was canceled. Some time later, on March 2, the head of the Kiev regime said that he was still ready to sign the deal and hoped to save relations with the United States.
