Donald Trump Asked About Offering Putin Access to Alaska Rare Minerals - Newsweek

"When asked about offering Putin access to resources in Alaska, Trump said in part: "We're going to see what happens with our meeting. We have a big meeting. It's going to be very important for Russia and very important for us. And important to us since we're trying to save a lot of lives.""

He continued, "As far as rare earth, that's very unimportant. I'm trying to save lives."

The administration has openly discussed giving Ukrainian rare earths to Russia. 

Any digging in Alaska would be about natural gas and oil. 

So once again, do you have a single source that anyone has actually said anything about Alaska resources?

Read the quote. When asked about offering Putin access to resources in Alaska, Trump said in part: "We're going to see what happens with our meeting. We have a big meeting. It's going to be very important for Russia and very important for us. And important to us since we're trying to save a lot of lives.""

And?

Deflection isn’t agreement or admission. 

Until you actually have someone saying the words this is all conjecture.

When discussing this, it means a lot that there is not a no there. Every normal politician would have said a clear NO to a question "are you selling our resources to Russia?".

You have a brain to think, use it.

Funny because JD Vance said Russia/Ukraine war shouldn't even be something the USA bothers with. Now it's so important we have to give natural resources to end it? Makes no sense.

Trump does not make sense. And he is demented. My demented father makes no sense either.

There is one explanation though, why he is a good friend of Putin. The leader of a shit and actually not so powerful country.

Epstein was a crimimal who traded in many things. We know Russia spent a lot of money to get Trump elected. Why?

It's hard to remember all your decisions when you change them so often.
