🇺🇸 Donald Trump is preparing to offer 🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin access to rare earth minerals to incentivise him to end the war in Ukraine.

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.

Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, is understood to be among administration figures briefing Mr Trump ahead of his sit-down with Putin in Anchorage.

Mr Bessent is exploring the economic trade-offs the US can make with Russia in order to expedite a ceasefire agreement.

Proposals include giving Putin access to the rare earth minerals in the Ukrainian territories currently occupied by Russia.

Mr Trump said Putin would face “severe consequences” if he did not agree to end the war in Ukraine during their meeting on Friday.

The US leader revealed his intention to seek an immediate second meeting with Putin, this time involving Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky, after their one-on-one talks in Alaska.

Mr Trump said: “If the first one goes okay, we’ll have a quick second one. I would like to do it almost immediately, and we’ll have a quick second meeting between President Putin and President Zelensky and myself, if they’d like to have me there.”

Mr Zelensky said Mr Trump supported security guarantees for Ukraine.

The two leaders attended a virtual summit along with other European leaders on Wednesday.


“There should be security guarantees,” Mr Zelensky said at a press conference alongside Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor. “President Trump said that he supports this and America’s readiness to take part.”

Ukraine is thought to hold 10 per cent of the world’s reserves of lithium, used in the production of batteries.

Two of its largest lithium deposits are in areas held by Russia, and Putin has staked his claim to the valuable minerals found in the regions his forces occupy.

Trump belongs to the theatre. Putin has learnt not to be deceived again. Russia position remains unchanged. If Europe and America continue to play hardball, it will eventually be decided at the battlefield.

This is supposed to be a good thing. It shows Trump has a sincere intention to end the war. Hardball has failed, let's try another approach. Any which way, let the war end

Is it Russia that decimated Hitler?
We are talking of Ukraine and Russia.
Not Russia and any big SEC in direct war.
Can your Russia even move away to any far SEC nation to invade?
I wish you could understand the logic properly

Ukraine is Europe's second largest country after Russia. Thats many times the aize of Lagos.

Militarily, ukraine is like Lagos but not in terms of landmass.

Lol. Mr Trump really doesn't understand Mr Putin. It's almost pathetic.

Putin's war isn't about rare earth minerals. It isn't about a few Ukrainian territories – Putin has enough land. Those who think it's about a "multipolar world" are also delusional. It's about bringing Ukraine (the whole of it) back under Russia's influence and shifting the global balance of power to Russia and its dictatorial allies.
