Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is scheduled to travel to Kyiv this week for talks with Ukrainian officials regarding the country's critical mineral deposits. This comes as President Donald Trump has expressed interest in gaining access to these minerals in exchange for continued US aid to Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has indicated that he plans to meet with representatives from the Trump administration in Ukraine before heading to the Munich Security Conference. While the specifics of the meetings have not been disclosed, Zelensky has emphasized that any cooperation must be mutually beneficial.
