US Senator Lindsey Graham has stated that former President Donald Trump plans to broker a deal with Ukraine involving access to the country's rare earth minerals, including uranium, titanium, and lithium, valued between $2 and $7 trillion. Graham emphasized that Ukraine is Europe's richest country in these resources and suggested that such a deal would benefit both Ukraine and the United States by enriching the U.S. and supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. He noted that "this war's about money."
