U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that Ukraine made last-minute modifications to the U.S.-Ukraine minerals agreement late last night. “We are confident they will reconsider,” Bessent said, adding that the U.S. remains prepared to finalize the deal. He emphasized that the United States has made “no changes” to the agreement, though he declined to specify what alterations Ukraine had introduced. It remains uncertain whether the changes align with the framework previously reported by the Financial Times and Ukrainian outlets, but the timing suggests a likely connection.
