https://united24media.com/latest-news/trump-reportedly-set-to-offer-putin-access-to-alaskas-resources-and-sanctions-relief-10733“There are a range of incentives, in which a potential mineral/rare earth deal could be one,” a source with knowledge of the proposals told The Telegraph. This deal would grant Putin access to valuable minerals in Ukraine’s eastern regions, particularly lithium, which is used in the production of batteries.Ukraine is believed to hold 10 percent of the world’s lithium reserves, two-thirds of which are located in areas under Russian control.Trump also discussed lifting sanctions on Russian airlines, a move that could benefit US manufacturers like Boeing. Russian airlines, currently operating a fleet of over 700 planes, could once again turn to American suppliers for maintenance and critical parts. This comes after recent incidents, including the crash of a Soviet-era Antonov An-24 and a cyber attack that grounded several Aeroflot flights.In addition to the mineral and aviation proposals, Trump is considering opening Alaska’s valuable natural resources, especially oil and gas reserves, to Russia. Alaska’s proximity to Russia—just three miles across the Bering Strait—makes this an attractive option for Putin’s strategic interests in the Arctic region, which accounted for 80 percent of Russia’s gas production in 2022.
However, UK government sources emphasized to The Telegraph that while these incentives may be acceptable to Europe, the terms of any agreement must avoid rewarding Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.“The sense is that it has to be presented to align with public opinion around this; it cannot be seen as a reward for Putin,” one source stated.In an interview with Bloomberg, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized that President Donald Trump is committed to ending the war in Ukraine but is determined to do so “not at any cost.”“I think everyone has been frustrated with Putin,” Bessent said. “We expected that he would come to the table in a more fulsome way. It looks like he may be ready to negotiate, and we put secondary tariffs on the Indians for buying Russian oil. And I could see, if things don’t go well, then sanctions or secondary tariffs could go up.”Bessent noted that Trump’s ability to create leverage is key to the upcoming talks, and he will make it clear to Putin that “all options are on the table.”“I’m not going to get ahead of the president, but the president is the best at creating leverage for himself, and he will make it clear to Putin that all options are on the table,” Bessent added.The Treasury Secretary also criticized European allies for not doing enough to enforce secondary sanctions. “The Europeans are in the wings carping about how he should do it, what he should do, but the Europeans need to join us in these sanctions,” Bessent said.
He called on European countries to match US efforts in pressuring Russia, recalling a G7 meeting where he challenged European leaders on their commitment to secondary sanctions.“I was at the G7 meeting in Canada with President Trump, and the Europeans kept talking about Senator Graham’s bill to impose secondary tariffs. And I looked at all the leaders around the table, and I said: Is everyone at this table willing to put a 200 percent secondary tariff on China? And you know what? Everybody wanted to see what kind of shoes they were wearing.”Bessent concluded, “It’s put up or shut up time. The President is creating his own leverage. We need the Europeans to come in and help create more leverage.”Ahead of the summit, the US has temporarily lifted certain financial transaction restrictions related to summit preparations. This temporary easing, which will remain in effect until August 20, 2025, covers only measures directly tied to the summit and does not involve unfreezing Russian assets or removing sanctions.Earlier, US President Donald Trump said there’s a “very good chance” he will meet Russian leader Vladimir Putin for a second time after their scheduled summit in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday.
>>1426340>Trump Will Give Alaska to PutinI heard he's also giving him the Infinity Stones
>>1426340>https://united24media.comJesus Christ can you find a more left-wing biased platform? I feel like I need post seven FOX News articles just to make this thread even.
and now he cannot remember the current name for Leningrad.His brain is mush.

>Trump Will Give Alaska to Putinthis is getting pushed so what he actually gives them seem more reasonable
>>1426340Alaska voted for this. Alaskan are eventually going to be send as meat shields against Ukraine.
>>1426414>Trump threatens ‘severe consequences’ if Putin refuses to end Ukraine warFunny how we've gone from 'Trump will give Putin Alaska' to 'Trump is threatening Putin with WW3'.
>>1426435He flip flops between threatening WW3 and sucking Putin's deck daily. This is the problem with having foreign and economic policy with a president who spins a wheel every month to determine what he's aiming for.
>>1426371Someone should convince him that renaming it Trumpingrad is a reasonable concession for ending the war.
>>1426435I've never seen Trump follow through with his SeVeRe CoNsEqUeNcEs when it comes to Russia. He licks Putin's boots like they're made of fucking chocolate.
>>1426557Sanctioning people who trade with Russia, like he did with India, is licking Putin's boots?
>>1426559https://www.axios.com/2025/04/14/trump-blames-zelensky-russia-ukraine-war-ceasefire
>>1426340Why would anyone go with Boeing nowadays?
>>1426559And yet he has done shit like directly target Canada's fertiliser exports with tariffs, and then filling in the gap with RUSSIAN fertiliser without any tariffs at all. Same with aluminium.
>>1426559>>1426572>>1426613Trump's record with Russia is so schizophrenic it's a genuine sign of dementia.>India can't trade with Russia because they're at war with Ukraine!>But we'll get stuff from Russia>Also Ukraine started the war>But the war is terrible>But it's also not Putin's fault>But Putin has also been playing me!>But you know like, he could also be open to negotiations
>>1426615Trump is prepping to fold like a lawn chair and spread his dainty cheeks for Russia to fuck. He's absolutely desperate for a win and something to clear stories of him raping kids out of the news so it looks like he may just give Russia whatever they want.
>>1426572>AxiosStraight into the trash. You are an ESL non-American shill
>>1426642is russia winning?
>>1426643Wait until after the meeting and ask again.
>>1426643Is Russia begging for money and weapons every week?
one can only imagine the severity of blackmail that Russia has on Trump.
>>1426666Irrelevant. The fact is that Russia only controls 25% of Ukrainian territory despite 3 years of conflict and Ukraine has done so much damage to Russian air assets that they've reportedly been doing their bombing runs with Pe-8's and Anasal's
>>1426666From the Chinese and N Koreans, yes.
>>1426666russia shill confirmed pure evil satan spawn
>>1426677Tell me more about the ghost of Kyiv
>>1426704what's it like in wisconsin oblast this time of year
>>1426705>oblastI don't know your memes, but I do know you're seething.
>>1426707>i'm just an american who hates ukraine and loves russia, what is this oblast you speak ofyou're impressively stupid
>>1426557He kisses Putin's asshole like it was Ivanka's mouth.
>>1426710You've propagandized to the point of thinking that everybody knows the same terms and locations you've obsessed about for five years.
>>1426719No man, the term oblast has been in use pretty much since the war started and it's been defined many times for the people who don't know what it is. Also, google is a thing. Look it up.His basic point though, is that if you're so ignorant that you don't even know what the term means by now, and lack the intelligence to look it up in a world where nearly every fact is available to you in seconds... then you may just be too god damn stupid to hold an opinion on the subject, certainly an opinion worth listening to.Understand? Probably not.
>>1426724>the term oblast has been in use pretty much since the war startedYou've developed a meme subculture that only you and people like you understand. Outside of the wartime propaganda, nobody actually cares to learn what's happening in eastern europe. Also:>we're defending democracy!>if you're not supporting us, you're with the enemy!>if we don't fight them there, they'll walk across the planet and we'll need to fight them here!We heard the same propaganada, every day, for decades all across America. After a certain point most of us learned to tune it out. But you didn't, because you're either too young not to know, or you're not an American at all.The only interesting thing to come out of this situation is every head of the UN cautioning Trump for seeking peace with Putin. It's almost like they have something to gain from dragging us into a war with a nuclear power or something~The harshest punishments are reserved for traitors.
>>1426752no one cares shill. you'll never be american
>>1426752>The only interesting thing to come out of this situation is every head of the UN cautioning Trump for seeking peace with Putin. It's almost like they have something to gain from dragging us into a war with a nuclear power or something~Perhaps because every single time Putin has asked for peace it basically amounted to "let me keep your territory I invaded and then in a few years I'll invade again"
>>1426340>Trump ends meeting by talking about how they didn't quite reach an agreement on one important issue>Doesn't actually say what that issue wasBeyond fucking parody. Guess we're gonna have to watch the next episode for that.
>>1426340>Trump Will Give Head to PutinCorrected.
>>1426752Man, you really don’t understand a single fucking thing.
>>1426772It’d be funny if it wasn’t reality.
>>1426666They're deploying fucking North Koreans, what do you think?
>>1426772Ties to China
>>1426340Welp, turns out even Trump thought this was a retarded idea. Good thing he made up for it by literally having US troops kneel down and roll out the red carpet for a wanted war criminal who's been selling kidnapped children.
>>1426864Trump's ties are made in China just like his MAGA hats, Trump watches, Trump phones...!
>>1426891You forgot the secret chinese bank accounts
>>1426340This is what all left wingers genuinely believe. That tells you everything you need to know about anyone on the political left.
>>1426887Sure thing, Rashid.
Dems will believe anything.
>>1427421Says the party that still believes 2020 was stolen...
Just a reminder that democrats actually believe this.
