Oops!... I Did It Again! (With Minerals!): Trump's Ukraine Deal, Baby One More Time!

Gimme More... Minerals!

Hey y'all it's Britney! So like I heard about this new U.S. and Ukraine minerals deal and I was like 'Oops!... I Did It Again!' ... Except it wasn't me it was Trump! Apparently he's been working on this since January. It's all about the U.S. getting access to Ukraine's natural resources. Think of it as America saying 'Gimme More'…minerals that is! They’re forming a reconstruction investment fund in return. Werk.

Stronger Than Yesterday: Economic Partnership!

Secretary Bessent is saying this partnership will help Ukraine's economy and maybe even end that whole 'cruel and senseless war.' He thinks it sends a message to Russia that the Trump Administration is all about a 'free sovereign and prosperous Ukraine.' Sounds a little 'Toxic,' right? But hey if it helps then I'm all for it!

My Prerogative: Trump Wants His Payback!

Okay so Trump's saying this deal is basically payback for all the money the U.S. has given to Ukraine during the war. He even said he 'wanted to be protected' and didn't want to 'look foolish.' I mean who does? But framing it like this is…well it's definitely 'My Prerogative'! It’s kinda like saying “You wanna? Hot. You want a piece of me?”

Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman…But Ukraine Can Determine!

Zelenskyy signaled that they had already agreed on the deal's outline. Yulia Svyrydenko said this economic deal could be a win win for both countries. She wants other countries to know that Ukraine is reliable to work with. I think Ukraine is capable to show the world it is 'Not a Girl Not Yet a Woman'! Svyrydenko added that Ukraine gets to decide 'where and what to extract.' It's their land after all!

Piece of Me: 50 50 Fund!

This reconstruction fund is supposedly being created on a 50 50 basis meaning it is an equal partnership. Neither party gets to be the boss or have a dominant vote. You want a 'Piece of Me'? Well you got it! I think that is so cool! As long as they are all being good it should work out.

Crazy: Hope for the Future?

Well hopefully this whole minerals deal turns out better than my last trip to the gas station! I am sending positive vibes to Ukraine and the United States and hoping for the best in these 'Crazy' times! Until next time keep shining bright y'all! ?
