Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had already twice refused to sign a minerals deal with the United States.
“This has to be one of the greatest diplomatic mishaps of all time by President Zelensky,” Bessent said in an interview Friday with Laura Ingraham, host of Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”
Bessent explained that Zelensky told him during a meeting in Kyiv that he would not sign a mineral deal, which would exchange billions of dollars in US aid funding for rare earths and other resources from Ukraine. Zelensky also refused to close the deal with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Bessent stated.

Zelenskyy knows he is a Biden Obama Puppet until they have no use for him then he is a liability.
The perv is soon to be a worldwide outcast…. The Euros are too socialized to keep indulging his psycho behaviors..
A mineral deal with us is probably better security than Ukraine would get from NATO members.
This has to be one of the greatest diplomatic mishaps of all time by President Zelensky.
And his last one he has made himself useless to anyone.
Certainly sounds plausible to me
We can assume he's getting rewards, but he's no Joe Biden.
Speaking of reselling arms, the cartels bought a few goodies:

Never reward bad behavior.
Get away from that hole. All of Europe.
Does Zelensky realize his days are numbered Ukraine will never stop Putin when the Biden Obama deep state end him hopefully not on American soil. Obama can’t have another showman mugging for attention. Zelensky has plenty of secrets to sell and he is desperate. Which will make Obama very nervous.
Not Yet.. but he is about to come down from the highest high he has ever snorted ... He just might take down with him the cabal that made him too ... or they might just taint his next line and plant him 6 feet under, and blame the Ukraine NAZIS, they have denied exists...
The world knows the Biden White House trafficked in the cocaine... Oh and how the squishy perfumed neocons will wring their hands ... look at what that 'abrasive' Trump did to their little idol...

And the meeting with the president in the Oval Office still took place. Three cabinet members apparently knew a deal wasn’t going to be signed and the meeting wasn’t cancelled?
WHY NOT???
Here’s my take: the Ukrainian people would be better off under Putin than at war. So a loss is not a total disaster. Worse is decades of an unwinnable war.
Zelensky’s not a democrat leader - he’s an elite thug. He’s cancelled all elections, doesn’t allow free speech, closed the churches - how is he better than Putin?
And how would Ukrainian elites do if Ukraine lost to Russia? They would be much worse off.
European elites would be worse off...
And the United States? We could concentrate on our hemisphere - where China is moving into South American to take rare earth elements. Plus we would save a bundle NOT protecting the Ukrainian thug - and Europe appears well prepared to give their money to Zelensky for years. So let them. Not our circus - not our monkeys.
WHOOPS - two cabinet members and the VP....
BFLR
He will be found dead, I am sure someone in some government still remembers what “wet work” means. Nuclear war, or let this madman rule?
I just read that the US demonicrats told Z to stonewall Trump before the meetings yesterday. Probably didn’t take much coaching.
