🇨🇳 China expands global influence amid USAID suspension, Politico reports.

USAID is the world’s largest donor, and China is looking to fill the gap while the agency remains inactive. Chinese officials have approached Nepal’s government, offering to replace USAID funding with their own, and similar moves are expected in other countries.

The dismantling of USAID could have long-term consequences for U.S.-China global competition. Analysts urge the U.S. administration to reform the agency rather than dissolve it, warning that otherwise, Beijing could seize a massive sphere of influence.

Zelensky: Ukraine and the U.S. could jointly develop mineral resources under a potential deal with Trump’s administration

In an interview with Reuters, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that as part of a possible agreement with the Trump administration, Ukraine and the U.S. could jointly extract mineral resources on Ukrainian territory.

“We must stop Putin and protect what we have — our very rich Dnipro region and central Ukraine,” Zelensky said.

The president emphasized that Kyiv is not offering to “give away” its resources to the U.S., but rather to establish a mutually beneficial partnership for their joint development.

“The Americans have helped the most, so they should benefit the most. They should have this priority, and they will have it. I would also like to discuss this with President Trump,” he added.
