US says may sign minerals deal today if Ukraine ready
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Washington and Kyiv could sign a minerals deal "today" -- a key part of the US push to end Ukraine's war with Russia -- if "last-minute" issues are smoothed out. "Our side is ready to sign. The Ukrainians decided last night to make some last-minute changes," Bessent says. "We're sure that they will reconsider that, and we are ready to sign this afternoon if they are." SOUNDBITE
