Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent characterized the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to the White House on Friday as “unacceptable.”
“It’s very difficult to do an economic deal with a leader who doesn’t want to do a peace deal,” Bessent said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
