WASHINGTON, Nov 23 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday he expects the peace process between Russia and Ukraine to move forward, but that he had not discussed with President Donald Trump a Thanksgiving deadline for Ukraine to sign onto a U.S. peace plan that cedes more territory to Russia.
Trump said on Friday that he expected Zelenskiy to sign onto the plan by Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday. The U.S. has warned Ukraine it could curb military assistance if it does not sign, Reuters has reported.
"At the end of the day, it's going to be a decision with the Ukrainians," Bessent told NBC's "Meet the Press" program.
