Trump: I Want $500 Billion Worth of Rare Earth Minerals from Ukraine in Exchange for Support

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
>> Bret: Zelenskyy says is he up to doing equity deal get rare earth minerals or something.
>> I asked them. the United States is in for $300 billion. Probably 350. And Europe is in for probably 100 billion. $100 billion. We’re in for more than twice. Maybe even three times what they’re. This should have never happened. Biden should have never let that happen. You know it happened with NATO when I got in and I had it equalized and raised hundreds of billions of dollars. NATO became very rich after me. We were paying almost all of Nate toy tawas unfair military and take advantage of us. They are very tough. The EU on trade is horrible. But NATO is very unfair and I made it fair. I said, look, if you don’t pay, we’re not going to defend you. And the money came in like nobody has ever seen before. The secretary general just left. He said I have never seen anything. When Trump left all the money started rolling. In all these people were delinquent. Canada was very low. It’s about the lowest payer in the whole thing which is very unfair. Do you know why they are low payer because they think the United States is going to take care of that do you think that’s fair? It’s not fair.
>> Bret: Ukraine though you think can you get a deal.
>> I think so.
>> Send American weapons until do you?
>> What I’m saying is the following. They have tremendously valuable land in terms of rare earth, in terms of oil and gas and other things. I want to have our money secured because we’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars and, you know, they may make a deal. They may not make a deal. They may be Russians some day or may not be Russians some day. We’re going to have all this money. I say I want it back. And I told them that I want the equivalent like $500 billion worth of rare earth. And they have essentially agreed to do that so at least we don’t feel stupid. Otherwise, we are stupid. I said to them we have to — we have to get something. We can’t continue to pay this money. You know,.
>> Bret: on the Russian side how do you get Putin? Do you squeeze him to get him to the table?
>> Look, I say it all the time. This would have never happened if I were president. If the election weren’t rigid, this would have never happened, and let’s see whether or not fox lets you put that in, okay? You hear me rigged. Let’s see I mean, it would have — this would have never happened, it wouldn’t have happened with Putin and October 7th would have never happened either. Iran was broke. They were down to their last, very small amount of money. Now they have $350 billion. But they have other problems. And, you know, let’s go back over there because I’m the weaver, I’m the great refer.
>> Bret: trust me. I get it.
