Trump threatens Russia and Ukraine over negotiations and resources
Donald Trump warned of sanctions against Russia and pressure on Ukraine if peace talks stall or Kyiv refuses a rare earth resource agreement.
US President Donald Trump announced his readiness to impose secondary tariffs on Russian oil if peace negotiations on Ukraine are delayed. He stated that if he deems Moscow responsible for prolonging the conflict, all Russian oil supplies will be subject to additional duties. This statement came amid increased pressure on the Kremlin to take concrete steps toward ending the bloodshed and stabilizing the situation in eastern Ukraine.
At the same time, Trump took a tough stance toward Ukraine. He warned President Volodymyr Zelensky of severe consequences if Kyiv refuses to sign an agreement on the extraction of rare earth minerals. The American leader stressed that withdrawing from the agreements would lead to "major problems" for the Ukrainian side. This statement reflects the strategic interest of the US in controlling rare earth resources, which are crucial for high-tech production.
Additionally, Trump categorically ruled out the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO. He noted that Zelensky "wants to be a NATO member" but "will never be one." This statement followed Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks about establishing "temporary administration" on Ukrainian territory and holding new presidential elections. Trump expressed disappointment with such rhetoric, stating that he expected a more constructive approach from Russia in peace negotiations.
Amid the intensifying political dialogue, the United States has also sent signals to Kyiv about the importance of maintaining stability in the resource sector, emphasizing that failure to comply with agreements could lead to significant economic losses. Observers note that both countries are attempting to secure their geopolitical interests while keeping an eye on potential economic benefits from rare earth deposits in Ukraine.
