A White House meeting that was intended to kick off negotiations on a deal over Ukraine’s rare earth minerals devolved Friday into a remarkable confrontation, with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance chastising Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and telling him he wasn’t grateful enough to the United States.

Trump, who'd been expected to sign a deal, abruptly sent Zelenskyy packing, saying in a social media post that the Ukrainian president could "come back when he is ready for Peace." Zelenskyy stated on Sunday he was still prepared to sign the agreement.
