- Officials emphasized the importance of unified efforts regarding sanctions, overseeing Russian sovereign assets, and preparing additional joint measures.
- Trump expressed confidence that a resolution would be reached and indicated his willingness to implement a second round of sanctions, while Kremlin spokesman Peskov asserted that no sanctions would compel Russia to alter its established stance.
