President Donald Trump expressed his disappointment over the rejection of a rare earth mineral deal by Ukraine during a recent visit by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Trump described Bessent's treatment in Kyiv as 'rather rude,' citing that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was unavailable to meet him, leading to the unsuccessful outcome of the visit.
Trump emphasized the importance of the deal, stating that he intends to revive it to ensure a positive outcome for both countries. He highlighted the significance of the deal for Europe, noting that they repay their loans, unlike the situation with Ukraine.
