Diplomacy devolved into a dramatic and heated exchange at the White House Friday between U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and their guest, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The trio met to nail down a framework which would grant the U.S. access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals. And in front of cameras, for more than half an hour, all was cordial, but when Zelenskyy asked about "diplomacy" with Russia to end the war in Ukraine, the meeting went off the rails. Jackson Proskow reports.
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have fled the war to come to Canada since Russia’s invasion began more than three years ago. And after the scene that unfolded in the Oval Office between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy on Friday, many are expressing their utter outrage. Mike Armstrong has their reaction.
So much of the impact of the war in Ukraine unfolds away from the public eye. Including the Canadians who have travelled there to provide humanitarian aid. In this exclusive report, Heidi Petracek introduces us to two of them – military veterans who say they've found new purpose.
Plus, Canada’s economy is still in for a "huge shake-up" as Trump's 25 per cent tariff threats loom over the country. The tariffs are set to kick in on Tuesday, and after months of talk about "annexing Canada" as a 51st state, the Republican leader delivered more disparaging remarks about our country's leaders. As Mackenzie Gray reports, Trump targeted both the federal government and the Conservative opposition.
