April 30, 2025 | Donald Trump says Mark Carney will visit the White House "within the next week" - a high-stakes meeting for the newly elected prime minister, who campaigned on confronting the U.S. president and his tariffs. Plus, the U.S. and Ukraine sign a critical minerals deal after months of tense talks.

The White House has been pushing for the agreement as a prerequisite for further military assistance.

The agreement is intended to give the U.S. access to proceeds from Ukraine's reserves of minerals and to help fund the rebuilding of Ukraine when the fighting stops.

Trump also appeared to be unmoved by the idea that American consumers will face empty store shelves if his trade war drags on.
