Trump’s Plan for Putin: Lithium, Aviation, and Arctic Oil!

Now specifically about Trump's proposals. So, the proposals involve opening up opportunities for Russia to develop rare earth metals, in particular lithium, in Ukrainian regions that are currently controlled by Russia. Ukraine owns about 10% of the world's reserves of this metal, which is important for battery production.

The US already has agreements, as you know, with Kyiv, regarding the development of such resources, but cooperation with Russia could accelerate production. This is reported by the Telegraph.

Another element of the package is the lifting of some restrictions on the export of spare parts and equipment for Russian airlines. After 2022, friends, Western sanctions have cut off Russia from critically important parts, which is why up to 30% of the country's fleet of Western aircraft may be decommissioned in the next 5 years.

Restoring access to American components could benefit both Boeing and Russian carriers. In addition, Trump is allegedly ready to offer Russia participation in the development of significant oil and gas reserves in the Bering Strait area, where Alaska and the Russian Federation are separated by only three miles. Easy.
