RUSH EXCERPT:
TRUMP: “What I’m saying is the following. They have tremendously valuable land in terms of rare earth, in terms of oil and gas and other things. I want to have our money secured because we’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars and, you know, they may make a deal. They may not make a deal. They may be Russians some day or may not be Russians some day. We’re going to have all this money. I say I want it back. And I told them that I want the equivalent like $500 billion worth of rare earth. And they have essentially agreed to do that so at least we don’t feel stupid. Otherwise, we are stupid. I said to them we have to — we have to get something. We can’t continue to pay this money.”
