Putin offers Trump a share in Arctic minerals, including gas and rare earths. For Russia, this is a chance to obtain technology and circumvent sanctions.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is offering to transfer a share in minerals, rare earth metals and huge natural gas deposits in the Kremlin-controlled part of the Arctic to the United States. This is reported by UNN with reference to The Washington Post.

Commenting on Donald Trump's recent statements about his desire to annex Greenland, Putin said he sees no problem with this. According to him, Trump's plans "cannot be called some absurd conversations."
At the same time, according to the publication, for Trump, the transfer of a share in the Arctic may become a way to resell cheap energy resources or purchase minerals and rare earth metals from Russia. For the Russians themselves, this opens up the opportunity to access liquefied natural gas technologies, which it lacks, and restore some of the key sources of income that have been complicated by sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine.
In addition to gas, the Russian part of the Arctic is rich in rare earth metals, in which the Trump administration has publicly expressed interest. These metals are lithium, nickel and aluminum - they are key resources for high technology, renewable energy and defense.
When it comes to the Arctic, Russia has a lot to offer
