WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday the US is ready to sign a mineral deal with Ukraine “this afternoon” — but added there had been a last-minute snag. “The Ukrainians decided last night to make some last minute changes,” Bessent said during a meeting of President Trump’s cabinet about the pending deal, which has been months in the making. “We’re sure that they will reconsider that, and we are ready to sign this afternoon,” he added.
