President Trump wrote in a social media post on Monday he’s having “serious discussions” with Russia not only on ending its invasion of Ukraine but also on “major economic development transactions” — though he didn’t provide details.
Trump was asked to elaborate on what those transactions would look like as he met with France’s Emmanuel Macron in the Oval Office.
“We’re trying to do some economic development deals. They have a lot of things that we want, and we’ll see. I mean, I don’t know if that will come to fruition, but we’d love to be able to do that if we could,” Trump said.
“You know, they have massive, rare earth … they have very valuable things that we could use, and we have things that they could use, and it would be very good if we could do that. I think it would be a very good thing for world peace,” Trump said.
