The USA and Ukraine signed the agreement on rare metals and minerals in the week in which Donald Trump marked his first 100 days since returning to the White House. In recent days, in an interview with an American media outlet, Trump stated that he “rules the world”. Was this PR or an attempt to divert attention from criticism? What did Donald Trump achieve and fail to achieve? The topic is commented on in the studio of “Offensive with Lyubo Ognyanov” by the creator of the series “Power and Responsibility” Svilen Spasov.
„Trump rules the PR of the world. In 2008, the GDP of the USA and Europe was approximately equal – about 16 trillion. Currently, the US GDP is around 29-30 trillion, Europe's - 19-20. This is the America that he will make great again, because during this period it has carried the world - both China and Europe, with a unique development of the economy, which he will make even more unique, "said Svilen Spasov.
“He is trying to return the debt part to more normal limits,” commented Spasov.
Regarding the tariffs imposed on China, he commented: “When Trump does things that seem crazy to us or very unpleasant for the stock market, good things also happen. For example, the price of Ural oil has fallen, which has reduced Putin's income, and it is easier for us at gas stations," Spasov said.
As for the agreement with Ukraine on rare minerals, Spasov said that it is the beginning of something that will show that "it is not so easy to abandon democracy in the United States."
“The negotiations went through difficult stages. Zelensky has proven to be extremely suitable for Ukraine at the moment. Many people have started to help him in the negotiations. There are not only Ukrainians in his teams. The result is extremely good, considering where he started. This fund that they will create will be 50/50%. America will now provide military equipment for 50 million, there will be an equal contribution to maintain parity on board”, Spasov said.
“If a stable peace is not achieved relatively quickly, then the US will sanction China, India and others who buy oil and gas from Russia by 500%”, Spasov said.
