A forthcoming book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan claims U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent privately urged President Donald Trump not to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before their explosive February 2025 Oval Office meeting. The book alleges Bessent made disparaging remarks about Zelenskyy and warned against a White House visit until a proposed minerals agreement was signed. It also details internal concerns within the Trump administration before the meeting that later erupted into a public confrontation. The claims have not been independently verified, and the Treasury Department had not publicly responded at the time of reporting. #trump, #zelenskyy, #bessent, #usa, #ukraine, #russia, #whitehouse, #ovaloffice, #donaldtrump, #jdvance, #geopolitics, #breakingnews, #uspolitics, #ukrainewar, #washington Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
