Russia and the US have started discussions on rare earth metals, a vital resource for electronics and military use. “Rare earth metals are an important area of cooperation… we have started discussions on various projects in Russia,” said Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund. Some companies have already shown interest, and further talks may take place in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Donald Trump expressed frustration with Vladimir Putin, saying he is "pissed off" over Russia's stance on Ukraine. Trump has tied US military aid for Kyiv to access its rare earth minerals, but negotiations are still ongoing. (PC: AP, Getty)
