He's going to come to the White House very shortly, within the next week or less. Where any of it goes from here is as ever known only to Trump, though for Canada a better sense of things may well come soon with as Trump now expects that sit down in the Oval Office with he and Mark Carney very shortly.

The U.S. and Ukraine have signed a long-awaited deal on rare earth minerals. The agreement would provide Washington with access to Ukraine's natural resources. In exchange, Ukraine would get American investment and potential military aid. While it does not explicitly provide U.S. security guarantees, the agreement expresses a commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and long-term prosperity. A deal had been in the works for months. It was derailed in February, after a heated argument between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office.

Junior hockey teammates. He's the first hockey player called as a witness and is not facing any charges. Karen Pauls reports. Taylor Radish said he and his teammates were at the Hockey Canada ring ceremony for winning the 2018 World Junior Hockey Championship. He told court he went to Jack's bar with the team and although he says he wasn't drinking heavily, he can't remember much about what happened that night. Radish does recall going into Michael McLeod's hotel room next door to his. He remembers seeing a woman probably on the bed but he doesn't remember if she was dressed.

Radish confirms he got text messages from a team group chat involving 19 people. One of them, sent by McLeod, said, Who wants to be in a three-way quick? In another text, McLeod told Radish to come to his room if he wanted oral sex. In another message about a week later, Radish sent a text saying one of Hockey Canada's staff called him about an investigation. The Crown has previously said the players had a discussion about getting their stories straight in case they were questioned.
