Putin is fuming.
In a bold move that’s already sending shockwaves through Moscow, President Donald J. Trump has sealed a groundbreaking deal with Ukraine—one that turns the tables on foreign aid, boosts American industry, and puts the U.S. taxpayer back in control.
The Kremlin’s fury was immediate.
Russian Security Council official Dmitry Medvedev took to Telegram in a bitter rant, mocking the agreement:
“Trump forced the Kyiv regime to pay for U.S. weapons with mineral resources. Now, a country on the edge of collapse must trade its wealth for military gear.”
But here’s what’s really happening: Trump’s Ukraine Mineral Rights Agreement is a masterclass in smart diplomacy.
No More Blank Checks
Unlike past administrations that handed out billions with no strings attached, Trump’s deal demands accountability.
Ukraine will pay for American military support with its own oil, gas, and critical mineral profits—not with U.S. taxpayer money.
This means more U.S. manufacturing jobs, more defense contracts, and zero cost to hardworking American families.
A Win for U.S. Industry and National Security
“This is a strategic victory,” said Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC).
“Ukraine is now a lasting partner. Both sides benefit. The next move should be tough, targeted sanctions on Russia.”
Under the agreement, a U.S.-Ukraine mutual fund will manage revenues from newly licensed energy and mineral extraction in Ukraine. Washington retains full discretion—no obligation to ship weapons, only the option to sell, on American terms.
Russia Lashes Out — Again
Medvedev, long seen as Putin’s echo chamber, has repeatedly attacked Trump. Just weeks ago, he slammed Trump’s global tariff strategy—despite Russia not even being affected.
“Trump is upending the global trade system,” he whined. “Counter tariffs will come. Supply chains will break.”
Yet conservatives see the truth: Trump is rebuilding America’s economic strength, securing our borders, and forcing the world to respect U.S. leverage again.
Why This Is a Game-Changer
- ✅ No taxpayer cost
- ✅ Strengthens U.S. energy and defense sectors
- ✅ Holds Ukraine accountable
- ✅ Undermines Putin’s influence
- ✅ Fulfills Trump’s America First promise
Bottom line: President Trump just pulled off another masterstroke. While the Biden era handed out foreign aid like candy, Trump is making America stronger—deal by deal, dollar by dollar.
