Trump said Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky "may come" to Washington this week or next as the two countries are "very close" to a deal on rare earth minerals.
He added: "I will be meeting with President Zelensky. In fact, he may come in this week or next week to sign the agreement and… which would be nice, I’d love to meet him.
