Trump emphasized the proximity of Europe to Ukraine and expressed his intention to have European countries handle security matters in the region. He highlighted the importance of ensuring that everything goes smoothly and mentioned plans to partner with Ukraine in the rare earth sector.
Specifically, Trump mentioned that his Interior Secretary and Energy Secretary would collaborate on this initiative. He emphasized the economic benefits of the deal, stating that it would bring wealth to the United States by recovering the money invested.
Trump's remarks underscored his administration's focus on strategic partnerships and economic interests in its foreign policy approach. The President's comments are likely to spark discussions and debates on the role of the United States in providing security guarantees to Ukraine and the broader implications for transatlantic relations.
