Brussels, September 16 (Hibya) – European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen held a meeting with United States President Donald Trump.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that she had a positive discussion with US President Donald Trump on strengthening joint efforts to increase economic pressure on Russia through additional measures.
She noted that the Commission will soon present the 19th sanctions package, targeting cryptocurrencies, banks, and energy, and added:
