As Prepared for Delivery Minister Armand, it is a pleasure to meet with you as you begin your role as France’s Minister of Economy and Finance. I look forward to continuing the deep and longstanding cooperation between the United States. and France, including advancing our joint work on shared international economic priorities. That begins with our steadfast commitment to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia. We are committed to working together to unlock the value of immobilized Russian sovereign assets to help secure economic and security assistance for Ukraine. This will build on the financial support that both of our countries have provided to Ukraine.
