President Donald Trump has seemingly set his sights on Ukraine’s natural resources in exchange for military aid. He also made a cryptic comment that reads as a threat to Ukraine’s sovereignty.
“They have tremendously valuable land in terms of rare earth, in terms of oil and gas,” Trump told his interviewer, Bret Baier from Fox News. The president further complained that the United States was sending billions of dollars in military aid. For this, Trump hints that he wants the United States to get its hands on those resources from Ukraine.
