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 he’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."
