ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wants to back out of a critical minerals deal, warning the Ukrainian leader would face big problems if he did.

"He's trying to back out of the rare earth deal and if he does that heโ€™s got some problems, big, big problems," Trump told reporters.

"He wants to be a member of NATO, but he's never going to be a member of NATO. He understands that."
