What you're seeing right now is an oil quarantine that allows us to exert tremendous leverage over what happens next.

The president always retains optionality on anything and on all these matters.

We continue with that quarantine, and we expect to see that there will be changes, not just in the way the oil industry is run for the benefit of the people.

The key to what that regime relies on and – is their economy fueled by oil.

The Trump Administration will no longer tolerate these egregious acts of extraterritorial censorship.

For far too long, ideologues in Europe have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to punish American viewpoints they oppose.

Not just about the terms that ends fighting, it's about also the terms that set up Ukraine for long-term prosperity.

We don't just want to end the war, we also want to help Ukraine be safe forever, so never again will they face another invasion, and equally importantly, we want them to enter an age of true prosperity.

As I told you earlier this morning, our goal here is to end the war, but it's more than just to end the war.

Much work remains, but today was, again, a very productive and useful session where I think additional progress was made.

This is delicate, it's complicated, there are a lot of moving parts

Securing an end to the war that leaves Ukraine sovereign and independent and with an opportunity at real prosperity

The end goal is obviously not just the end of the war

The end goal is, obviously, not just the end of the war.

It's not just about the terms that ends fighting.

U.S. officials had begun by looking at Russian demands, and received oral and written input from the Russians.

We have to start treating them as armed terrorist organizations, not simply drug-dealing organizations.

There's still some work left to do, and that's what our teams are going to be doing right now.

Headed by the illegitimate Nicolás Maduro, Cartel de los Soles has corrupted the institutions of government in Venezuela and is responsible for terrorist violence and drug trafficking.

We began from the early stage of this process with our understanding of the Russian position as had been communicated to us in numerous ways.

Well, obviously the Russians get a vote here, right?

I was very optimistic about the progress of the talks.

This 28-point plan was not a done deal and amounted to a Moscow wish list.

I think this was a very, very meaningful – I would say probably best – meeting and day we've had so far in this entire process, going back to when we first came into office in January.

This is a very delicate moment.
