A heated Oval Office Exchange has derailed an agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine. What started as a meeting to discuss a historical peace deal quickly spiraled into a standoff between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. Paul Hunter has the details.

You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War III. It was an extraordinarily tense, jaw-dropping scene in the Oval Office. Something rarely, if ever, seen or heard from this place before. I think it's disrespectful for you to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media. The attitudes have to change. U.S. President Donald Trump and his Vice President J.D. Vance berating Ukrainian President Vladimir

Zelensky, arguing openly and forcefully over Ukraine's wartime needs and whether the U.S. will continue aiding Ukraine in its defense against Russia's brutal onslaught. The plan had been for Zelensky and Trump to work toward Ukraine, signing a deal allowing U.S. access to its critical minerals. But further talks were promptly canceled. The deal went unsigned and Zelensky left the White House. Paul Hunter, CBC News, Washington. In response to the stunning dispute, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will continue to stand with Ukrainians. As Katie Nicholson reports, reaction for for and against the conduct of both presidents is flooding in from all over the world and within the U.S. as well.

Outside the White House, longtime Republican ally Lindsey Graham among the first to defend President Trump. I have never been more proud of the president. I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again. Elsewhere in the Capitol, ripples of outrage. Truly, truly embarrassing. Democratic Representative Seth Moulton sits on the Armed Services Committee. The vast, vast majority of my Republican colleagues in Congress, they know the truth here. They're just too scared to say it themselves. In Europe, one country after another voiced unequivocal support for Ukraine and its leader. From French President Emmanuel Macron, they are fighting for their dignity, their independence,

their children and the security of Europe. Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt was left questioning the country long seen as a big brother. Can the United States return as a serious diplomatic power? That looks debatable at the moment. Katie Nicholson, CBC News, Toronto. U.S. federal employees are starting to receive more emails that require them to explain their recent accomplishments in a renewed attempt by President Trump and Elon Musk to demand answers from the government workforce. The new request was expected to go out today but began landing in the inboxes of some employees

late Friday. Canada could be facing tariffs from the US as early as Tuesday. CBC radio's The House was in Washington D.C. this week. Host Catherine Cullen has more. Well, it is a busy day. Canada's ambassador to the United States, Kirsten Hillman, is in the midst of a blitz to demonstrate Canada is serious about border security and keeping Trump's tariffs off. She's been accompanied across Capitol Hill by cabinet ministers and Canada's new Fentanyl czar Kevin Brosseau. He says US

lawmakers are interested in his new role. I'd say the reaction has been very positive. Something Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar attested to. I was really impressed to hear from the Fentanyl czar of Canada. But some lawmakers are harder cells. Hillman also met with Florida Republican and Trump ally Congressman Byron Donalds. Hillman said she pointed out his district sells a lot of fruit and vegetables to Canada and that tariffs and counter tariffs would stop that. We will be buying from, I don't know, Chile, Mexico, Peru, I don't know where, but not your congressional district.

She says it's important that Americans know that while Canada wants to be friends, the alternative will cause a lot of pain on both sides. Catherine Cullen, CBC News, Washington. And you can hear that special episode of The House right after the 9 o'clock edition of World Report 930 in Newfoundland. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Claude Fague.
