Sen. Schiff Condemns Trump Over Ukraine Minerals Deal and UN Resolution Stance
Schiff criticizes Trump for prioritizing economic interests over democratic principles and betraying Ukraine in favor of Russia at the UN.
- Sen. Adam Schiff described President Trump's approach to Ukraine as one of the most shameful incidents in modern U.S. history.
- The criticism follows Trump's decision to withhold security guarantees for Ukraine while pursuing a deal granting U.S. access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals.
- Schiff accused Trump of betraying both Ukraine and democratic principles by adopting a transactional approach to foreign policy.
- Trump's administration recently supported a UN resolution aligning with Russia, further straining U.S.-Ukraine relations, according to Schiff.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to visit the White House to finalize the minerals deal, though he emphasizes the need for clarity on U.S. military support.
