Macron Interrupts, Contradicts Trump On 'Getting Our Money Back' From Ukraine: "No!"

President Trump said Monday while hosting French President Emmanuel Macron at the The White house Ukrainian President Zelensky could be coming to the Oval Office as soon as "this week" to sign a "final deal" on rare earth minerals access.

"It looks like we're getting very close. The deal's being worked on," Trump told the press pool, with a nervous and anxious-looking Macron sitting next to him.  "We're I think getting very close to getting an agreement where we get our money back over a period of time," Trump added, referencing prior demands to be paid back some $500 billion after years of heavy weapons and funds sent to Kiev.

"I will be meeting with President Zelenskyy. In fact, he may come in this week or next week to sign the agreement... The agreement is being worked on now. They are very close to a final deal," Trump stressed. Watch:
