On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet President Donald Trump at the White House.
On the agenda — a deal for Ukraine to share its rich natural resources. The Trump administration wants hundreds of billions of dollars of rare earth metals and other critical minerals. Details are thin on what exactly Ukraine would get in exchange.
The meeting comes as the world marks three years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and as Trump promises to bring an end to the war.
But bringing an end to the war may not be so simple argues Alexander Vindman.
The Ukrainian-born Vindman was the White House staffer and active duty Army officer, who testified against Trump during his first impeachment trial in 2019.
Trump fired Vindman not long after.

Can a DSA candidate running on free buses, free childcare, and a freeze on rent become mayor of New York City? Polling first among declared candidates, N.Y. State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani is no symbolic candidate. He's has a strategy to win and a commitment to left principles that has even disgruntled lefties like Brie saying things like "he's the real deal." In this episode, candidate Zohran talks Mayor Adams and his scandals, Andrew Cuomo's threats to enter the race, and the details behind that viral Valentine's Day ad.

Consider This from NPR - The view from Greenland: ‘We don’t want to be Americans’
President Trump's calls for the U.S. to take over Greenland have sparked alarm and outrage.
Denmark, which is responsible for Greenland's security, recently announced that it would further boost its defense spending.
And a recent poll found 85 percent of Greenlanders are opposed to being part of the United States.
Parliamentary candidate Naaja Nathanielsen is one of them.
It isn't clear whether Trump's ambitions for Greenland will take. But some politicians in the territory are taking his calls for acquisition more seriously than ever before.
