Trump demands $500 billion of Ukraine’s minerals: that’s the headline in the Guardian, which also stated that Ukrainians were outraged.
So it’s exactly as This Writer stated in a previous article, and now we have a figure for the amount Donald Trump wants.
If I read correctly – that the United States spent $200 billion supporting Ukraine (so far) then he’s demanded two-and-a-half times as much back.

Here’s what Beastrabban had to say about it:
It’s another instance of ‘America First’ Trump bullying other countries and demanding they surrender their resources to him.
Trump is trying to make this peace deal above Zelenskyy’s and his country’s heads, as if he already owned the place. It looks less like a piece of international diplomacy than international gangsterism. ‘Nice country, you’ve got here Mr. Zelenskyy. Shame if something happened to it.’
He went on to remind us of memes and jokes that flew around the internet a few years ago, speculating on Trump and Putin’s sexuality, and provided one which I am happy to reproduce here [pictured].
He wrote:
It does seem to describe their relationship: a pair of mounted marauders about to despoil another country.
