US treasury chief urged Trump not to host ‘Mr Bean on crack’ Zelenskyy, book says
The book says Bessent privately insulted Zelenskyy and pushed Trump to delay a White House invite until Ukraine accepted U.S. minerals terms.
- According to excerpts published Saturday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent privately disparaged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and urged President Donald Trump not to host him at the White House.
- Tensions originated during a 45-minute visit to Kyiv, where Bessent and Zelenskyy clashed over terms for a rare-earth resource deal before the Ukrainian president's Washington visit.
- The book 'Regime Change' details how Bessent called Zelenskyy a 'little f****r' and 'Mr. Bean on crack' when discussing the Ukrainian leader with associates ahead of the White House visit.
- Both nations signed an agreement in April creating a joint investment fund, despite the February 28 meeting descending into a shouting match between the two leaders.
- Reports suggest Bessent also privately compared Trump to George Soros, yet the administration continues backing Ukraine's sovereignty while joining a G7 pledge on Russian sanctions this week.
