Trump administration RESISTED mentioning β€˜security guarantees’ in Ukraine minerals deal – report

The US β€œsupports Ukraine’s effort to obtain security guarantees needed to establish lasting peace,” states a copy of the rare earth minerals deal with Ukraine, cited by The New York Times.

However, this vague phrase, which does not specifically commit the US to safeguarding Ukraine’s security, was reportedly only added after some back-and-forth between the Trump administration and Ukrainian officials.

The US side had β€œstrenuously” pushed to EXCLUDE ALL MENTION OF SECURITY GUARANTEES from earlier versions of the agreement, a Ukrainian official was cited as saying.

Both Washington and Kiev officials confirmed on Tuesday that a final version had been agreed upon. On Wednesday, Donald Trump announced that Volodymyr Zelensky would be in Washington on Friday to sign the deal.

β€œI’m not going to provide security guarantees beyond very much,” Trump said at a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, adding that β€œWe’re going to have Europe do that.”

ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK: Trump administration ELIMINATING over 90% of USAID foreign contracts

Following a 90-day review ordered by President Donald Trump, around 5,800 grants issued by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) valued at roughly $54 BILLION will be terminated, according to a State Department memo cited by the Washington Free Beacon.

That marks a 92% reduction in USAID's multi-year grant spending.

In addition to USAID, the audit also targeted foreign aid from the State Department, identifying $4.4 billion in grants for elimination.

🟠The State Department pledged to β€œreform the way the United States delivers foreign assistance” and address β€œdecades of institutional drift,” as noted in the memo.

🟠Plans also include slashing USAID’s workforce from 10,000 to under 300, with remaining staff and responsibilities being transferred to the State Department.

βœ…Brazil's president says BRICS is COMMITTED to de-dollarization plan NO MATTER WHAT

BRICS will not be stymied in its determination to seek alternative platforms for payments between member countries, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told a meeting of the group’s sherpas on Wednesday.

"The current escalation of protectionism in trade and investment boosts the importance of measures aimed at overcoming obstacles to our economic integration. Expanding payment options means reducing vulnerabilities and costs. The Brazilian [BRICS] presidency is committed to developing additional, accessible, transparent and secure payment platforms," the UOL portal quoted the Brazilian president as saying.


Not the effect Donald Trump was hoping for when he dangled threats of 150% tariffs against BRICS states?
