Can someone explain why the US is demanding that Ukraine give us billions of dollars in mineral rights, as part of a peace plan between Russia and Ukraine? What does Ukraine get out of this? Sounds like strong arm robbery to me.

It's simple logic really... Ukraine has had billions in foreign aid (not JUST US aid) in fighting this war. Trump's thinking is that Ukraine will pay him back every penny that the world has spent in aid via the rights to mine these minerals and get richer.
Sounds to me like Zelenskyy woke up and sniffed the kool aid before drinking it and now Trump is pissed because Ukraine can see the cyanide in it.
