The Leaders are committing to target the Russian Central Bank, the single most important financial institution in Russia. We are planning to impose measures to ensure Russia cannot use its Central Bank to support its currency and undermine the impact of our sanctions.

This coming week, we will launch a multilateral Transatlantic task force to identify, hunt down, and freeze the assets of sanctioned Russian companies and oligarchs – their yachts, their mansions, and any other ill-gotten gains that we can find and freeze under the law.

We are also announcing our commitment to take measures to limit the sale of citizenship - so called golden passports - that allow wealthy Russians connected to the Russian government become citizens in certain countries to gain access to our financial systems.

No country should do this! We have veterans who were thrown out of the country, living in Mexico and vets here living on the street, but money talks. Our lives aren't worth anything unless we are wealthy!?!
