Trump reportedly offering Putin natural resources off Alaska sparks fury

"Lets see Republicans defend this," former GOP Representative Adam Kinzinger wrote on X.

I wasn't aware that Donald Trump owned America's resources. Supplying Russia with rare Earth minerals is not very sound national security policy.

There is no telling how far down the rabbit hole Trump may go in order to acquire a Nobel Peace Prize. After all, Barack Obama has one.

I'm also aware that Trump appoints sychophantic CEO's to Cabinet positions who are known to exploit our natural resources for profit.
 
"Free energy!", Vadim explained. "Coolant from warhead storage drives turbine for drill. Radiation helps to assay for minerals."

"I'm not so sure", Bob replied. "Using a nuclear missile on a drill rig ... wouldn't that work better if it was pointed upside down? Or if it wasn't armed?"

"It's all in treaty!", Vadim replied. "Your president signed!"
 
The idea that the president of the United States doesn’t control what America does or doesn’t do with its natural resources seems like a stretch at best.
 
Maybe Bone Spurs would trade Alaska for Greenland.

His name is not Shirley.

And the Executive Branch can't just give away American resources to an enemy nation.

Then what is the deal? How can Trump force companies to sell raw materials to Putin? Opening up sales to Russia doesn't mean the sales will occur. Unless you're suggesting Trump mandate who the extractors can and can't sell their products to.
 
McMaster could tell you how far down after Helsinki.

The U.S. engaged in trade with the Soviet Union throughout much of the Cold War, so clearly it can.
 
Nothing positive will come out of this meeting. How vulgar and self-centered Donald Trump is. Trump is eager to do something with this summit that has nothing to do with Ukraine. Putin wins this round. Russian television will put these images on a loop to show Russians. 'Look how the US President loves our Putin!' This is great for Putin's image back home. As for Trump, this meeting is sucking up everyone's attention rather than being focused on the Epstein files, the falling stock market, inflation and the military takeover of D.C.
