Ukraine willing to sign minerals deal days after Trump-Zelenskyy agreement fell apart

Washington — Ukrainian officials have indicated to their U.S. counterparts they are willing to sign a key minerals agreement, days after the original plan to sign the deal at the White House imploded in an acrimonious Oval Office meeting between President Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vice President JD Vance.  

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who has been one of the negotiators who spoke with Zelenskyy about the minerals agreement was asked by CBS News "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan Sunday whether the economic deal was still on the table.  

"Not at present," he responded.
