The Trump administration has proposed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that the United States be granted 50 percent ownership of Ukraine's rare earth minerals in exchange for its military support, according to a report by NBC News.
Trump asks Zelenskyy for half of Ukraine’s rare earths: NBC News
U.S. officials told NBC that handing over half of its valuable minerals would be a way for Kyiv to reimburse the U.S. for the billions of dollars in weapons and support.

Because of the ICE raids, up to 75% of field workers are not showing up during critical citrus harvesting time.
This could be a potential collapse of our food system in the US, as well as economic devastation.
