Trumpov predlog s »tovarniško napako«: Ukrajina naj plača mir z redkimi kovinami

ZDA poskušajo ustaviti vojno med Rusijo in Ukrajino, a bodo od Kijeva zahtevale jamstva za dobavo redkih zemljin ameriškemu gospodarstvu, je dejal ameriški predsednik Donald Trump.

TRUMP TO UKRAINE: NO FREE AID—HAND OVER THE RARE MINERALS

Washington has sent billions to support Ukraine’s war effort, but Trump says it’s time for a trade—rare earth minerals for future aid.

Ameriški predsednik je v ponedeljek podpisal odlok o uradnem imenovanju upokojenega generala Keitha Kellogga za predstavnika Washingtona v pogajanjih z Moskvo in Kijevom.

Because Trump is currently negotiating with Ukraine and Russia behind closed doors (he admitted this himself).

Trump is looking into where the money went, and it’s not where it was supposed to be.

»Dosegli smo velik napredek glede Rusije in Ukrajine.

Ustavili bomo to nesmiselno vojno,« je dejal Trump novinarjem v Beli hiši.

"Ukraine has the largest reserves of lithium, titanium, and significant deposits of other minerals in Europe. The total value of minerals in Ukraine reaches almost 15 trillion dollars. More than 70% of the reserves are in the Donbass and occupied territories - in the Donetsk,… pic.twitter.com/wRvuFBIeIB

Ameriški predsednik je novinarjem potožil, da so ZDA Ukrajini poslale veliko več vojaške in gospodarske pomoči kot njene evropske zaveznice.

The West’s involvement in Ukraine was just as much about controlling Ukraine’s vast resources (e.g. rare earth elements) as it was about removing Kyiv from Russia’s sphere. Both went hand in hand.

Implement a ceasefire & then hash out details for long-term peace later.

»Mi (Američani) smo širokogrudno trosili naš denar.

Dajemo jim opremo. Evropa zaostaja za nami. Oni (Evropejci) bi to morali izenačiti.

Mislim, mi imamo ocean med (ZDA in Rusijo), oni (Evropejci) pa ne. Njim je to pomembnejše kot nam,« je poudaril Trump.

BREAKING: President Trump just announced that he is demanding Ukraine to give its rare earth minerals to the United States as payment for all the aid.

Glede ogromnih vsot denarja, ki jih je prejšnja vlada Joeja Bidna pošiljala Ukrajini, je novi ameriški predsednik dejal, da od Kijeva pričakuje jamstva za oskrbo ameriške industrije s kovinami, ki jih ZDA ne morejo dobiti od Kitajske.

»Prizadevamo si skleniti sporazum z Ukrajino, kjer nam bodo zagotovili, da nam bodo za tisto, kar jim damo, vrnili v redkih zemljinah in drugih rečeh,« je razkril Trump.

BREAKING, TRUMP SAYS ‘WE ARE TELLING UKRAINE THEY HAVE VALUABLE RARE EARTHS AND WE WANT A GUARANTEE’

Redke kovine ali redki minerali je ime za 17 kemičnih elementov, ki so ključne surovine za proizvodnjo mobilnih telefonov, računalniških komponent, električnih in hibridnih avtomobilov ter televizorjev.

 Nope. The U.S. is not going to get the rare earth minerals.

Skoraj 97 odstotkov svetovne proizvodnje teh materialov prihaja iz Kitajske, ki je nedavno omejila njihov izvoz v ZDA zaradi uporabe v vojaški industriji.

Trump talks about plans to ‘buy’ Ukrainian mineral resources.

Težava Trumpove pobude pa je v tem, da se večina mineralov in pomembnih zalog premoga in virov zemljin in kovin nahaja (kot kaže zgornji zemljevid) na jugovzhodu države - tam, kjer so že ali pa bodo že kmalu pod nadzorom ruske vojske oziroma ležijo v regijah, ki so se ob sklicevanju na pravico do samoodločbe že pripojile Rusiji.
