US plan would link Ukraine's economy with US, offer privatization, Treasury chief says

WASHINGTON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - The Trump administration's plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine would intertwine Kyiv's economy with the United States, with the U.S. bringing its "best practices" of privatization, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox Business Network on Friday.

Bessent, who traveled to Kyiv this week as the U.S. presented its plan, said "part of it starts with intertwining the ... Ukrainian economy more with the U.S., and making sure that U.S. taxpayers receive the return for the money they put in."
