From this beleaguered titanium mine, it’s hard to see how Ukraine could repay the half a trillion dollars that President Donald Trump has suggested they might give the US under a moonshot rare earth minerals deal.

President Trump met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House. In an interview with NBC News’ Lester Holt, Starmer praised President Trump for kick starting peace talks, while saying any deal must have security guarantees to assure Russia’s President Putin will not invade again.

Former U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul and David Remnick, editor of the New Yorker and former Moscow correspondent for The Washington Post discuss the potentially disastrous consequences of Trump's Oval Office meeting with Zelenskyy.

Starmer’s goals for his trip were to persuade Donald Trump to provide Ukraine with security guarantees in any peace deal and head off duties on British goods while pursuing a rapport with an unpredictable U.

President Donald Trump’s claim that the potential “trillion-dollar deal” he is on the cusp of signing with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would offer the US easy access to a bonanza of rare earth minerals is at odds with the widespread assessment of current and former US officials who say there’s little actual evidence of great rare earth and other mineral wealth in Ukraine and much of what does exist will be difficult,

European Union leader Ursula von der Leyen says the bloc is "in an era of rearmament," as Trump casts rising doubt on old alliances.
