The discussions about potential sanctions against Russia are not limited to meetings with US officials. According to unnamed sources familiar with the matter, representatives from the White House, the US State Department, the US Trade Representative's Office, and the US Department of the Treasury are all involved in these talks.

The talks are seen as a sign of progress in new coordinated sanctions against Russia. US President Donald Trump has previously stated his readiness to impose new measures against Russia, and on September 7, he mentioned that European leaders are expected to arrive in Washington at the beginning of the current week.

However, the exact identities of these European leaders have not been disclosed. On the first day of the week, it was David O'Sullivan, the European Union's sanctions coordinator, who met with US officials in Washington. He was accompanied by an expert team.

The meetings are taking place on September 8, 2023. David Sullivan, the Special Representative of the European Union for sanctions issues, is in Washington on this day. The discussions are focused on potential measures against Moscow in connection with the escalation of the war in Ukraine.

The White House has not specified which leaders Trump was referring to, but the arrival of European leaders is in relation to discussions about the war. The information was reported by CNN.

As the war continues, these discussions are a significant step towards intensifying pressure on Russia. The exact nature and timing of any potential sanctions remain to be seen, but the ongoing talks suggest a collective international effort to address the crisis.
