The US president will arrive at the much-anticipated meeting with his Russian counterpart on Friday armed with a number of money-making opportunities for Putin.

They will include opening up Alaska’s natural resources to Moscow and lifting some of the American sanctions on Russia’s aviation industry, The Telegraph can reveal.
Proposals include giving Putin access to the rare earth minerals in the Ukrainian territories currently occupied by Russia.
If true...

So Trump gives Putin minerals from American land.

And Trump gets Ukraine to sign away their minerals to the US just to be given to Putin?

That's pretty ****ed up if true.

Everything the orange pos does is to benefit Vlad.
 
I'm not sure "money making opportunities" will stop Russian aggression. The money making opportunities of controlling Kyiv go far beyond mineral extraction. Ukraine's GDP is ~$200bil.

That is majorly f'd up. "Peace" through appeasement of an aggressor will only being more aggression.

Trump doesn’t understand that the last thing Putin needs is more money. He’s fleeced Russia to great success.

Not sure how accurate that is, likely not very accurate at all, but its almost certain that Trump will attempt to enticed Putin to end the war by offering an end to sanctions and an invigoration of the Russian economy through investment and trade much like he tried with Kim Jong Un. Idoubt, however, that such an offer by Trump will be any more successful with Putin than it was with Un.

What in the insane ****?! He wants to reward wannabe Stalin for the war, because he wants a Nobel?

Easily the worst president ever. America is... not America.
 
How anyone cannot see the deep corruption of the Trump administration is alarming. We have a considerable percentage of the country that can't seem to see what is happening with Trump. We have someone in the office who has fascist goals, yet millions support it. Causes me to question how much "Americans" believe in democratic freedom versus being dominated by their media-created fears.
 
I can't believe this is true......even for Trump it's a bridge too far.

I agree.

Even Trump isn't stupid enough to do this. I think someone has Punk'd The Telegraph.

I mean, if you look at how insane things have been…

Would you really be that surprised…
 
I agree.

I disagree. The guy literally thought that injecting bleach and UV was a brilliant idea. He believes that electric boats do something with sharks, and that windmills cause cancer. He is indeed stupid enough to do this.

No. He'd never survive the political backlash and he knows it. Handing Ukraine over is one thing. Handing Alaskan minerals over? Nope....he'd be hounded out of office by October.

For now, i'll stick with my theory. Someone's playing a big one on The Telegraph.

Couldn’t open your link, but found another source repeating the Telegraph reporting.

“According to The Telegraphon August 13, US President Donald Trump is preparing to offer Russian leader Vladimir Putin a series of economic incentives to end the ongoing war in Ukraine.

These proposals will be presented during their highly anticipated meeting on Friday, which will take place in Trump’s offer to Putin includes access to Alaska’s rich natural resources, lifting some sanctions on Russia’s aviation industry, and providing access to the rare earth minerals in Ukrainian territories currently occupied by Russian forces.

The Telegraph reports that Scott Bessent, the US Treasury Secretary, is briefing Trump on these economic trade-offs as part of efforts to expedite a ceasefire agreement.

“There are a range of incentives, in which a potential mineral/rare earth deal could be one,” a source with knowledge of the proposals told The Telegraph. This deal would grant Putin access to valuable minerals in Ukraine’s eastern regions, particularly lithium, which is used in the production of batteries.

Ukraine is believed to hold 10 percent of the world’s lithium reserves, two-thirds of which are located in areas under Russian control.

Trump also discussed lifting sanctions on Russian airlines, a move that could benefit US manufacturers like Boeing. Russian airlines, currently operating a fleet of over 700 planes, could once again turn to American suppliers for maintenance and critical parts. This comes after recent incidents, including the crash of a Soviet-era Antonov An-24 and a cyber attack that grounded several Aeroflot flights.

In addition to the mineral and aviation proposals, Trump is considering opening Alaska’s valuable natural resources, especially oil and gas reserves, to Russia. Alaska’s proximity to Russia—just three miles across the Bering Strait—makes this an attractive option for Putin’s strategic interests in the Arctic region, which accounted for 80 percent of Russia’s gas production in 2022.

If true (stressing if), Traitor Trump would be again proving to the world that he is a spineless Putin cuck boy.

Traitor Trump may have the authority to ease sanctions and allow Putin access to Ukraine mineral resources currently contracted to the U.S., but he does not have unilateral authority to give any other country access to our country’s natural resources.

Crazy, that it’s come to the point where even the idea of such an outrageous proposal reported by less than reliable sources can be taken seriously.
