NATIONAL HARBOR, United States: President Donald Trump on Saturday said he was trying to get money back for the billions of dollars sent to support Ukraine’s war against Russia, as Washington and Kyiv negotiate a mineral resources deal.
“I’m trying to get the money back, or secured,” Trump said. “I want them to give us something for all of the money that we put up.
“We’re asking for rare earth and oil, anything we can get.”
