US Treasury Secretary says according to Ukraine is not planned at the moment

United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said there are no plans for signing a resource agreement with Ukraine at the moment.

The statement was made to FOX News, as reported by correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, who reported via social network X that Bessent said: “There is no planned signature.”

Economic agreement with Ukraine not yet finalized

Although the United States government has maintained talks about a possible economic agreement with Ukraine, the matter has not yet been implemented.

CBS News sources have indicated that the deal has not been finalized, and that US President Donald Trump is waiting for a “greater and better” version of the pact, suggesting a postponement or review in the negotiations.

In an interview held on March 2, Bessent reiterated that an agreement with Ukraine was not being considered by the Trump government “at the moment”.

This position seems to align with the cautious posture of the American administration, which seeks to ensure better or more favorable conditions before formalizing any commitment.

Possible mineral agreement with Ukraine in progress

On the other hand, according to information from Reuters at the beginning of March 4, negotiations between the United States and Ukraine may be about to reach an important milestone. Sources near the discussions indicated that a mineral agreement could be signed in the coming hours.

Reuters also mentioned that Trump could take advantage of an appearance against Congress, scheduled for Tuesday 9 pm (local time) to officially announce the signing of the pact.

This would indicate a strategic movement of the US government to formalize the partnership, possibly with Ukraine, in the mineral resources sector.

With the US Congress as a stage for the possible confirmation of the agreement, the American political environment awaits the unfolding of negotiations.

It is expected that if the agreement is signed, it can reflect Trump’s interests to strengthen economic ties with Ukraine, but under terms that meet US strategic and economic objectives.

The unfolding of these negotiations may have significant implications for US foreign policy, especially in relation to their stance with European and former Soviet countries, as well as possible repercussions on global mineral trade.
