Trump Demands Ukraine Repay U.S Aid With Rare Earth Minerals And Oil At CPAC 2025 In DC

US President Donald Trump has demanded that Ukraine compensate the US for the aid provided during its war with Russia.

His remarks come amid growing tensions with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who recently rejected a minerals deal with Washington. Trump also accused Zelensky of mismanaging American funds and missing peace opportunities with Moscow.
