A new proposal seeks repayment guarantees to the United States for wartime aid to Ukraine.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the new deal could be signed as soon as next week. “We have passed along a completed document for the economic partnership [that] is currently being reviewed by Ukrainians, and we hope to go to full discussions and perhaps even get signatures next week,” he said.
If signed, the updated minerals deal would implement a five-person board of three U.S. officials and two Ukrainian officials that would supervise the distribution of money made from mineral, gas, and oil projects in Ukraine to the United States, along with a variety of other measures.
President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Kyiv is reviewing the proposal. “After the framework deal, a full agreement is being developed,” President Zelensky said. “Now the U.S. has offered us a ‘major’ deal, their vision.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Ukrainian officials as they review the terms proposed by the United States.
- For Secretary Bessent as he oversees the operations of the Treasury.
- That the Lord guides President Trump as he interacts with global leaders.
