Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, is expected to appear Sunday on “60 Minutes” during a segment on the 3-year-old war in Ukraine.
Correspondent Scott Pelley interviewed King on Thursday in Washington, D.C., asking him about shifting U.S. support for the country that was invaded by Russia on Feb. 24, 2022.
King told Pelley how important it is to maintain support for Ukraine because it shares U.S. values, spokesman Matthew Felling said. King also noted that he believes most members of Congress agree with him, though public support has waned.
Relations between the two countries took a turn Friday, when President Donald Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “disrespectful” during a heated meeting in the Oval Office and abruptly called off signing a deal to mine rare earth minerals in Ukraine.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
