Well now, this is interesting. Not so subtle dig at the end (possibly subtle enough to evade Trump).

The only sensible way forward is for Ukraine and Europe to shut Trump out completely. No deal with Trump on rare earth metal and mineral resources and no role for the US in a post-war peacekeeping force.

The win-win-win would be not having to hear the term “rare earths” 50 times a day on news bulletins and podcasts. It sounds so imprecise. They’re not rare and the plural form just sounds wrong.

Tulsi Gabbard, is Trump's director of national intelligence she has publicly agreed with Russia’s positions on its invasion of Ukraine, claiming Moscow had legitimate security concerns about Ukraine joining NATO, and she suggested the war could have been avoided if NATO had acknowledged those concerns. She repeated debunked claims about U.S.-funded biological labs in Ukraine, drawing criticism for spreading misinformation. Russian state media has praised her views. She denies that Assad committed any crimes in Syria Why would Trump appoint this person. Elon fired most of the senior staff in the CIA who are responsible for national security threat detection - presumably they would disagree with Trump and have been fired.
