Donald Trump has reportedly issued a warning to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, suggesting that Ukraine could face “big problems” if it refuses to strike a deal over its valuable mineral resources.
According to sources, Trump’s comments hint at a potential shift in U.S. support for Ukraine if Zelenskyy doesn’t cooperate on mineral negotiations. Ukraine is rich in key resources like lithium and rare earth metals, which are crucial for modern technology and energy production.
While Trump hasn’t provided specifics on what “big problems” could mean, some speculate it could involve changes in U.S. aid or diplomatic relations. The situation adds another layer of complexity to Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia, as Kyiv relies heavily on Western support.
Zelenskyy has not publicly responded to Trump’s remarks, but this development raises questions about how U.S.-Ukraine relations might evolve, especially if Trump were to return to the White House.
