Main Idea: Trump wants more than a minerals deal before he restarts U.S. aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
Key Points:
Delayed US aid and intelligence to Ukraine can prolong the war, keep energy and food prices volatile, and raise the risk of higher costs for taxpayers and allies.
A deal that pushes peace talks could reduce fighting and lower long-term costs for households and markets.
