Trump wants rare earth elements from Ukraine in exchange for military aid

“We’re handing them money hand over fist. We’re giving them equipment,” Trump said Monday. 

“We’re looking to do a deal with Ukraine, where they’re going to secure what we’re giving them with their rare earth and other things,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. 

“I want to have security of rare earth,” he added, appearing to refer to rare earth elements, which refers to a specific group of materials that are only deposited in relatively small quantities and can be used in a variety of applications including electronics, health care and batteries.
