Day twelve
“Donald Trump says he has ambitions to compete with #Australia on coal production after signing executive orders designating the #FossilFuel as a #mineral and vowing to reinvigorate an industry that is in steep decline. …
During a rambling one-hour speech that spanned illegal immigration from Africa, Germany’s wind industry and energy challenges in California, Trump also specifically referenced Australia’s #CoalTrade with #China.
‘We have more coal than any other country. You go to Australia, they have fantastic amounts of coal. You know who they sell it to?’ he asked several dozen hard hat-wearing coal miners in the #WhiteHouse.
‘China. They sell it to China. They’re nearby. They sell a lot of it to China. But we have more than anywhere else on earth. We also have more liquid gold than anywhere on earth. So we’re really an #energy behemoth, but we’re unleashing that also.’”
Energy Resources. We should see some response by either party as to their Environmental and Climate policies by what is and isn’t said.

Their aim, #JDVance said in a video, is to check up on #Greenland’s security, because *unnamed other countries* could “use its territories & its waterways to threaten the United States.” And these are real concerns for the #UnitedStates, rooted in #ClimateChange: As #PolarIce melts away, superpowers are vying for newly open #ShippingRoutes in the #ArcticOcean & largely unexplored #mineral & #FossilFuel reserves.
#Ukraine says #mineral deal not final; summary shows #US demands more income
The latest U.S. proposal would require Kyiv to send Washington ALL profit from a fund controlling Ukrainian #resources until Ukraine had *repaid* all American wartime #aid, PLUS INTEREST, according to the summary, reviewed by Reuters.

Greenlanders unite to fend off the US as Trump seeks control of the Arctic island
Greenlanders are increasingly worried that their homeland, a self-governing region of #Denmark, has become a pawn in the competition between the U.S., #Russia and #China as #GlobalWarming opens up access to the #Arctic. They fear #Trump’s aim to take control of #Greenland, which holds rich #mineral deposits and straddles strategic air and sea routes, may block their path toward independence.
Those fears were heightened Sunday when Usha #Vance, the wife of U.S. Vice President JD Vance, announced she would visit Greenland later this week to attend the national dogsled race. Separately, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz and Energy Secretary Chris Wright will visit a #US #military base in northern Greenland.

The next prompt from #printerSolstice2425 is silicon and as a geophysicist I am always going to think of SiO2, quartz, one of my favourites and the first mineral I printed in this older #linocut. Quartz was the first mineral I learned to identify as a child. Rhapsodizing about the averageness of its physical properties might sound like a strange yet boring thing to celebrate but physicists love using the power of approximation. 1/n
#TrumpCabinetMeeting notes
#Trump announced that President Volodymyr #Zelensky of #Ukraine will visit on Friday to seal a deal granting the #UnitedStates rights to Ukraine’s #mineral resources.
Trump repeated #disinformation about how much the #US & #Europe have contributed to Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s invasion since 202/, claiming inaccurately that the US has invested 3X as much as Europe. Per the Kiel Inst, Europe has allocated $138B to the war effort, the US has given $119B.
The framework for the deal would grant the #US access to Ukrainian #mineral wealth on “much better terms” than those offered in an earlier proposal that #Zelensky rejected, the Ukrainian ofcl said. It does not include any mention of $500B — a figure that #Trump told #FauxNews he wanted, in equivalent rare earth #minerals, to *repay* US #war #aid to #Ukraine.
Zelensky firmly rejected claims that the US has sent $500B to Ukraine, saying the figure stands at ~$100B.
#Zelensky has rejected demands from #Trump's admin for $500 billion in #mineral wealth from #Ukraine to *repay* Washington for wartime #aid, saying the #US has offered no specific #security guarantees.
On Friday, the Ukrainian president said the US & Ukrainian teams were working on an agreement & Trump said he expects a deal will be signed soon.
Here’s an older print which would also have been a match for the #printerSolstice2425 prompt copper: my lino block print of the beautiful green mineral malachite. Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral, with the formula Cu2CO3(OH)2. This mineral has been mined for thousands of years. It has been used as a source of copper and as a mineral pigment since antiquity.1/2
