Treasury Secretary Bessent to Visit Kyiv as Trump Seeks Minerals


  • Deal could hinge on access in return for aid against Russia
  • Ukraine boasts vast deposits of uranium, titanium, lithium

 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to travel to Ukraine this week as part of initial discussions to secure US access to critical minerals, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Bessent, who will be the first member of Donald Trump’s cabinet to visit the country is making the trip to Kyiv days after the president said his administration wanted an agreement with Ukraine for access to the resources in return for aiding in its defense against Russia’s invasion.
