Trump Pushes Ukraine Mineral Deal While Blaming Zelenskyy for War

Former President Donald Trump promotes a controversial peace plan involving Ukrainian mineral rights and criticizes Ukrainian leadership, drawing global scrutiny.

  • Trump-backed proposal suggests Ukraine cede control of rare earth mineral rights to the U.S. in exchange for peace with Russia, a plan Ukrainian President Zelenskyy initially resisted but may reconsider.
  • Trump has accused Zelenskyy of prolonging the war for financial gain, labeling him a 'dictator' and falsely claiming he has low approval ratings and refuses to hold elections.
  • Critics argue Trump's approach aligns with Russian President Vladimir Putin's interests, sidelining Ukraine and Europe in peace negotiations and granting Moscow diplomatic advantages.
  • Fact-checkers have debunked Trump's claims about Zelenskyy's leadership and U.S. financial aid to Ukraine, noting inaccuracies in his statements about election delays and spending figures.
  • Global reactions remain divided, with some viewing Trump's strategy as a capitulation to Russia, while others highlight his focus on ending the war through unconventional means.
