US President Joe Biden on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, said he would speak with other leaders from the Group of Seven advanced economies this week about potential additional sanctions against Russia over its war in Ukraine.

“We’re always open to additional sanctions,” Biden told reporters, when asked about US plans after the European Union proposed its toughest sanctions yet against Russia on Wednesday, including a phased oil embargo.

“I’ll be speaking with the members of the G7 this week about what we’re going to do or not do,” Biden added.
