Wtf is #Trump's beef with #Madagascar, imposing 47% #tradetariffs on the 5th poorest country in the world? Ah let me guess: that's his "art of the deal" trying to get his hands on #Malagasy #naturalresources #rareearth #minerals using the famed commercial technique of...blackmail. And magically-always-reelected MG president #Rajoelina isn't exactly guided by patriotism, making the country a perfect target... thehill.com/homenews/administr

#Trump’s WH budget office has sought to understand the potential cost to maintain #Greenland if it were acquired…. They are also attempting to estimate what #revenue the #US #Treasury could gain from Greenland’s #NaturalResources.

…Trump has said repeatedly that the US will “get” Greenland.

“100%,” he told NBC News on Sat. Asked whether it would involve #force, he said that there is a “good possibility that we could do it without #military force” but that “I don’t take anything off the table.”

#Trump has White House studying cost of #Greenland takeover

The WH is preparing an estimate of what it would cost the federal govt to control Greenland as a territory, acc/to 3 people with knowledge of the matter, the most concrete effort yet to turn Trump’s [#delusional, unsolicited & unwelcome] desire to acquire the Danish island into actionable #policy.

3 people familiar…said the US had revised its proposals. The latest draft gives #Ukraine NO future #security guarantees & requires it to contribute to a joint investment fund ALL income from the use of #NaturalResources managed by state & private enterprises.

…It stipulates that Washington is given first rights to purchase extracted resources & *recoup* all the money it has given Ukraine since 2022, +INTEREST at a 4% annual rate, before Ukraine gains access to the fund's profits.

Greenland Accuses U.S. of ‘Provocation’ Ahead of Upcoming Visit byteseu.com/863710/ #Denmark #DonaldTrump #GREENLAND #homepage_regional_europe #NaturalResources #PostToBuffer #U.S.ForeignPolicy

Bytes Europe · Greenland Accuses U.S. of 'Provocation' Ahead of Upcoming VisitWelcome back to World Brief, where we’re looking at an upcoming U.S. trip to Greenland, Russia and Ukraine agreeing in principle to Black Sea cease-fire deals, and the end to Japan’s Unification Church. ‘Highly Aggressive’ Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen accused the United States on Tuesday of exerting “unacceptable pressure” on Greenland ahead of an unsolicited trip by top U.S. officials to the island on Thursday. “The visit is clearly not about what Greenland needs or wants,” Frederiksen said. U.S. President Donald “Trump is serious. He wants Greenland. Therefore, cannot be seen independently of anything else.” Welcome back

A quotation from Will Rogers

So we started in to pay some attention to our neighbors to the south. Up to now our calling card to Mexico or Central America had been a gunboat or a bunch of Violets shaped like Marines. We could never understand why Mexico wasent just crazy about us; for we always had their good-will, and Oil and coffee and minerals, at heart.

Will Rogers (1879-1935) American humorist

• "For the avoidance of doubt, such future sources of revenues do not include the current sources of revenues which are already part of the general budget revenues of #Ukraine."

• The fund aim is to invest in Ukrainian projects & attract investment in public & private assets including #NaturalResources, #infrastructure, #ports & state-owned enterprises.

• Contributions to the fund will be reinvested in Ukraine to promote "the safety, #security & prosperity of Ukraine."

• The 2 countries will establish a Reconstruction Investment Fund to collect & invest revenues from Ukrainian resources.

• Reps from both countries will jointly manage the fund.

• A subsequent agreement about the fund will be "negotiated promptly" AFTER the conclusion of this agreement.

• #Ukraine will contribute to the fund 50% of revenues earned from Ukrainian state-owned #NaturalResources developed in the future.

"Importing countries are racing to secure minerals, using a mix of onshoring (encouraging mining within their borders) and bilateral trade agreements. Producing countries are implementing export bans, establishing state-owned companies and in some cases nationalising entire mineral sectors. Whether justified on account of the energy transition, tech sectors or military preparedness, countries everywhere want their piece of the critical mineral pie.

In the US, Trump’s moves mark the escalation of a bipartisan consensus that has been over a decade in the making. It was during Barack Obama’s presidency that federal officials first outlined a “critical minerals strategy”. In Trump’s first term, executive orders expanded the list of critical minerals and framed reliance on imports from foreign adversaries as a threat. Joe Biden’s administration increased domestic mining, established friendshoring alliances and imposed major tariffs on minerals from China.

Some previous US policies bear an unsettling resemblance to Trump’s recent bluster too. Under Biden, for example, the state department lobbied the CEO of privately held Tanbreez to resist any offers from Chinese investors for its Greenland rare earth deposit."
