Trump continues to claim that Ukraine has no leverage. However, if that were truly the case, he wouldn't need to pressure and blackmail them into agreeing to a deal on natural resources—one that ultimately fails to bring either side closer to resolving broader issues - ThreadSky

They said no thank you on the mineral matter, and offered them eggs. I really hope they can stand their ground.

If these raw minerals are worth 500 billion USD, value added processed products would be worth that many times over. Signing these away without clear guarantees and in return for past rather than future aid is a no starter.

Why would any country trust the US? We have already screwed over Ukraine by shitting all over the Budapest Memorandum.

Russia has donkeys and crutches, that's not a military that is winning. The front is not really moving! Russia needs Trump to stay in the fight. If Russia wins just because Europe can't help Zelenskyi just now against Trump's blackmail, it's eternal shame for Europe and its leaders.

Ukraine has leverage that Trump ignores: with the EU.
They know Putin is an expansionist murderer, they know about the Domino Theory, so they are backing Ukraine like their lives depend on it.

Ukraine is strong and has a lot of leverage

I don’t think there’s a deal to be done with mineral resources that benefits Ukraine; the resources are not relevant. There are plenty of reasons to help Ukraine, including it just makes the whole world safer.

He is literally blackmailing them in broad daylight, disgusting pig, i have no words truly, how this thug has become a leader of anything other than a prison gang is beyond me.
