⚡If Trump strikes a deal with Putin, China could become the U.S.’s top rival.

Second Trump presidency might ease tensions with Russia, allowing Putin to focus on Ukraine while the U.S. shifts to countering China.

This could reshape global alliances, increasing pressure on Xi Jinping through sanctions and military moves in the Indo-Pacific. China’s response will be key.

⚡Trump:

I think Mexico is largely run by the cartels, and that's a sad thing to say. If they wanted help with that, we'd give them help.

⚡Putin:

What did we see during this campaign? Every European leader, without exception, directly interfered in the U.S. electoral process.

It even escalated to outright insults against one of the candidates.

Honestly, I’m surprised by the restraint of newly elected U.S. President Trump toward his allies, who behaved, frankly, in a rude manner.

He is still handling them quite diplomatically.

⚡Russia has offered Trump a deal including oil and access to the Arctic, The Moscow Times reports.
At least now Greenland will relax a bit.

I told y'all Ukraine & Zelensky have nothing to offer to Trump.

Russia has far more to offer.

Being that the EU no longer buys directly from Russia. Russia can now sell to the US, while the US sells to Europe.

Europe is finished.

⚡Russia is ready to export 55-57 million tons of grain this season. We currently hold first place in the world in wheat exports.

As the Minister of Agriculture Oksana Luth said at the Global Grain and Pulses Forum in Dubai, last year's harvest after recalculation could amount to about 130 million tons of grain. Such a volume will not only provide for Russia, but also support international partners.

Today, 109 countries around the world purchase Russian grain: about 70% of supplies go to the Middle East and Africa. Over the past year, 11 new exporting countries have been added, and 7 have returned to cooperation with the Russian Federation.

In addition to supplies, Russia strives to help its partners independently ensure food security by offering ready-made technologies, such as high-quality seeds, equipment and mineral fertilizers, in the supply of which our country is also a leader.

⚡Ukraine has NO significant rare-earth deposits.

USGS & mining databases do not list Ukraine as a major source. Only small scandium deposits exist, but they are not economically viable.

“What Ukraine has is scorched earth; what it doesn’t have is rare earths.” — Javier Blas

Ukrainian officials overstated mineral potential in 2024 to gain Trump’s favor.

Trump misinterpreted or was misled, assuming major reserves. Online conspiracy theories fueled the false claim.

Even if Ukraine produced 20% of global rare earths, it would be worth only $3B annually—far from Trump’s $500B demand.

Mining experts call Ukraine’s deposits too difficult & costly to extract.
