SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: So, as I said, Jennifer, from the beginning, President Biden has - gave himself the authority to impose sanctions to address the violence, to end impunity, to hold people accountable, and to push the parties towards a negotiation so that we can resume the civilian transition. Then, I know that visa sanctions are confidential, but are these people who this will actually matter to them? Were they traveling to the United States? Like, what impact will these visa sanctions have on these officials? One, if the talks in Jeddah had not collapsed, would these sanctions still have been imposed today? Can you give us a little more detail on the timing here? We will not hesitate to take additional steps if the parties continue to destroy their country and thwart the resumption of a civilian transition. These actions flows directly from President Biden’s commitment to end of the fighting. We will continue to support the people of Sudan in their aspirations for civilian rule and marshal humanitarian assistance - over $245 million so far - to help Sudanese in country and those who have fled across borders. It’s up to the parties to recognize that and take actions towards peace in good faith for the sake of the people. The United States is resolute in our belief that only a diplomatic solution will resolve the conflict.
