Odaily Planet Daily News: Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have merged with a Kazakh critical minerals group through a shell company. The group received up to $1.6 billion in U.S. government support last year for developing tungsten mining projects.

The report stated that the tungsten project involves the Katpar and Upper Kairakty deposits in northern Kazakhstan, with financing provided by institutions such as the U.S. Export-Import Bank. Trump's sons joined the company's advisory board and acquired shares in late 2024. (FT)
