'Big Problems': Trump Issues Warning to Zelensky on Minerals Deal

President Donald Trump warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday that he’s going to have “big problems” if he backs out of the critical minerals deal.

"I think Zelenskyy, by the way, he’s trying to back out of the rare earth deal, and if he does that, he’s got some problems – big, big problems," Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday. "We made a deal on rare earths, and now he’s saying, ‘well, you know, I want to renegotiate the deal.’ He wants to be a member of NATO. Well, he was never going to be a member of NATO. He understands that, so, if he’s looking to renegotiate the deal, he’s got big problems."

Earlier this month, Zelensky said he’s “ready to sign” a critical minerals deal with Washington — a comment that came after a contentious White House meeting that ended with Zelensky being told to leave with no deal in place.

Zelensky reiterated that point in a lengthy statement on X days later, portions of which Trump shared during his joint address to Congress.

"Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format," Zelensky said. "We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively."
