In brief: US President Donald Trump stated in an interview with Real America’s Voice that the critical minerals deal signed with Kyiv allows the US to access Ukraine’s rare earth resources “at any time” and take “pretty much whatever we want,” valuing the agreement at over $300 billion. The bilateral deal, signed in April 2025, actually establishes a 50/50 revenue-sharing recovery fund managed by the US Development Finance Corporation and Ukraine’s PPP Agency.

I mean, yeah, Ukraine is an American colony. I don't understand how this could shock someone, even outside of .ml, lol.🤷‍♂️

    I'm not sure i understand, are you saying .ml would be surprised at Ukraine being an American colony? Because that's what we've been saying the entire time.

    My bad, I made the appropriate correction. I meant that, even for those outside of .ml, that should be obvious enough (remember the "did you even say thanks" little act with Zelensky?). 👍
