US, EU working on next round of sanctions against Russia - White House spokesman

U.S. authorities are tightly cooperating with their European allies about imposing further restrictive measures against Russia, Press Secretary Josh Earnest said on Friday, July 25.

"The United States continues to be in touch with our allies in Western Europe about additional economic costs that could be imposed," he said.

"It would be unwise strategically for me to send clear signals about the content or timing of sanctions that would only allow those who were the target of those sanctions to make early efforts to try to get around them," he said.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said at a briefing on Friday that "sanctions work best the longer they’re in place."
