US President Donald Trump is trying to force through a new deal that would see America gain control Ukraine’s critical minerals and energy assets in a major expansion on his previous demands.

Summary

Donald Trump seeks near-total control over Ukraine’s critical minerals, energy assets, and infrastructure in a new draft deal, significantly expanding his previous demands.

The proposal, sent to Kyiv, includes no security guarantees for Ukraine, sparking concerns about sovereignty and dependence on the US.

Energy law experts called the terms unprecedented, noting the US could withdraw without obligation. Trump also suggested US control of Ukraine’s nuclear plants.

Critics warn Russia may exploit Trump’s urgency for a quick deal, complicating peace efforts and post-war stability.

    I work in business and I don’t spend long at the table with these kinds of people. They’ll keep hammering unless you push back, and it’s not worth my time… in fact you generally find whatever they brought to the table they’re screwing someone else out of who can’t say no. Always better to move on and find someone else to work with. Always.
