Ukraine, media: Bessent described Zelensky as “Mr. Bean on crack”

Rome, Jun. 20 (LaPresse) – U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly advised Donald Trump in the past not to host Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, privately describing him as a “little idiot”, a “special needs child” and “Mr. Bean on crack”. The revelation is contained in the book on the second Trump administration entitled Regime Change, written by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which will be published worldwide on Tuesday. Excerpts from the book were published by The Guardian.
