Bessent rejects Zelensky's Starlink and intelligence claims

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's accusations against the Trump administration regarding Starlink restrictions reckless and denied claims that intelligence sharing with Kyiv had been halted. Bessent made the remarks on NBC News' "Meet the Press," responding to Zelensky's suggestions that U.S. authorities may have slowed satellite communications used by Ukrainian forces. He urged Zelensky to be careful with his statements, saying they are untrue. The dispute follows a Telegraph report that Elon Musk personally proposed limiting the military Starshield system for Ukraine, with President Trump reportedly supporting the initiative, leading to speed restrictions on satellite communications.
