U.S. to strengthen sanctions against Russia only with EU support

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had met with EU Commission Sanctions Envoy David O’Sullivan.

According to him, all options were on the table as part of U.S. President Donald Trump's "strategy to support peace negotiations".

"We are willing to take strong measures against Russia, but our European partners must fully join us in this to be successful," Bessent said.
