As Ukrainian President Zelensky prepares to arrive at the White House, a U.S. Air Force RC-135V “Rivet Joint” Signal Intelligence Platform (JAKE17) is currently flying a Mission over the Black Sea near Russian-occupied Crimea. @MeNMyRC1

Lebanese Authorities at Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport reportedly seized over $2.5 Million in Cash meant for Hezbollah earlier today, concealed on a Man who had recently arrived on a Flight originating from Turkey.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived at the White House in Washington D.C. and was met outside by U.S. President Donald J. Trump. They will sign the U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal today, President Trump confirmed.

The Russian State News Agency, TASS was one of the Press Agencies allowed into the Oval Office for today’s meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald J. Trump, while both Reuters and the Associated Press (AP) were excluded.

UPDATE: The White House has stated that TASS was not on the Approved List of Media Agencies for today’s Presser between U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, stating that as soon as it was brought to their attention that the TASS Reporter was in the Oval Office, he was escorted out by White House Officials.

After saying earlier outside the White House, “He’s all dressed up today” in reference to Ukrainian President Zelensky’s iconic outfit featuring cargo pants and a shirt emblazoned with the Coat of arms of Ukraine, U.S. President Trump says to Zelensky in the Oval Office, “I do like your clothing by the way.” To which Zelensky responds, “Yeah, really?”

Chances on Polymarket’s betting market that “Ukraine agrees to give Trump rare earth metals before April” tanked earlier, following a heated-argument in the Oval Office between U.S. President Donald J. Trump, Vice-President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with chances dropping to 59% before recovering at 92%.

What happened today in the Oval Office is likely to be a Massive “Wake-Up Call” for U.S. Allies in Europe and our Partners across the World.

The first statement from U.S. President Donald J. Trump, following his heated-argument earlier in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with Trump stating, “I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations. I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”

Sounds like the “Mineral Deal” is off.

Welp…that didn’t last long.

The Press Conference between U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where the “Rare Earth Minerals Deal” was expected to be signed, has now been cancelled, as Zelensky’s Motorcade arrives at the West Wing of the White House.

The White House confirms that the “Mineral Deal” was not signed.
