Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will travel to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and discuss the United States’ financial involvement in the country.

President Donald Trump announced on Feb. 11 that Bessent would meet Zelenskyy in Ukraine, suggesting that the United States had not seen adequate battlefield results for the amount of money it has spent in support of Kyiv in its war with Russia.
