Russian President Putin recently responded to the United States' proposal for economic cooperation,World-major foreign exchange dealers indicating Russia's willingness to jointly develop rare earth mineral resources with the U.S., particularly in Russia's eastern regions and Donbas. He noted that Russia is rich in rare earth metals, and both countries are expected to collaborate in this field in the future, involving not only governments but also private enterprises.
Regarding the Donbas region occupied by Russia, Putin highlighted the vast potential for rare earth metal mining, which would contribute to Russia's long-term economic development. He emphasized that rare earth metals are a key area of competitiveness for the Russian economy. In the future, Russia will seek to enhance its domestic industrial capabilities, from mineral extraction to high-tech product manufacturing, to drive national economic growth.
Additionally, Putin mentioned Russia's capability to supply a significant amount of aluminum to the United States. Despite the U.S. imposing a 200% tariff on Russian aluminum in 2023, Putin pointed out that if the U.S. market reopens, Russian companies could supply up to 2 million tons of aluminum annually to the U.S., restoring trade cooperation. He suggested collaboration on hydroelectric power and aluminum production projects in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, with an estimated investment of $15 billion.
Putin further mentioned that beyond cooperation in rare earths and aluminum, Russia and the U.S. could also collaborate in the energy sector. Companies from both countries have already initiated contact in this area, though specific details have yet to be disclosed.
These cooperation proposals came after U.S. President Trump extended an olive branch to Russia for talks through social media. On the TruthSocial platform, Trump stated that alongside ceasefire negotiations, the U.S. is actively pursuing economic development deals with Russia, expected to involve rare earth resources among other areas. Putin welcomed Trump's proposal and expressed willingness to discuss military spending reduction plans, aiming to further strengthen economic and strategic cooperation between the two nations.
As interactions between the U.S. and Russia increase across multiple domains, it is anticipated that the two countries may engage in more profound cooperation in minerals, aluminum, energy, and other sectors, opening new opportunities for the global economy.
