Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed joint exploration of rare earth metals and aluminum supplies to the U.S.
Russian President Vladimir Putin extended an offer to the United States on Monday for joint exploration of Russia’s rare earth metal deposits and aluminum supplies to the U.S. market. The offer follows a statement from U.S. President Donald Trump, who recently noted that “major economic development transactions with Russia” are expected in the near future.
In response, Putin chaired a high-level meeting with his ministers and economic advisers, focusing on rare earth metals as part of the potential economic partnership.
“We, by the way, would be ready to offer our American partners, and when I say 'partners,' I mean not only administrative and governmental structures but also companies, if they showed interest in joint work,” Putin said on state TV after the meeting.
Additionally, Putin expressed Russia’s openness to European involvement in U.S.-Russia peace talks on Ukraine. However, the Russian leader emphasized that Brussels had previously declined to engage in dialogue with Moscow.
