Trump Betrays Zelensky? In a dramatic and unexpected turn of events, former President Donald Trump has rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s offer for NATO membership in exchange for access to Ukraine’s rare earth mineral resources. Trump’s decision effectively shuts down Ukraine’s hopes of joining the military alliance, dashing Zelensky’s long-held aspirations for NATO support. The U.S. leader's stance marks a significant shift in Washington’s approach to Ukraine’s geopolitical future, raising questions about the future of U.S.-Ukraine relations.

Kremlin confirmed ongoing U.S.-Russia talks on Ukraine peace, despite Donald Trump's frustration with Vladimir Putin. Trump, angered by Putin's criticism of Ukraine's leader, warned of imposing secondary tariffs on Russian oil. Meanwhile, Russia expressed interest in rare earth projects with the U.S. The possibility of a Trump-Putin call remains open, as Trump insists on an end to the war, while global markets brace for potential impacts of the threatened sanctions.
