READOUT: Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeymo’s
Meeting with Latvian Minister of Finance Arvils Ašeradens
April 14, 2023

WASHINGTON – Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo met yesterday with Latvia’s
Minister of Finance Arvils Ašeradens. They discussed the close partnership on sanctions in
response to Russia’s war of aggression and the importance of countering Russia’s attempts to
evade U.S. and EU economic measures. The Deputy Secretary noted that the price cap on
Russian oil is achieving its two objectives of limiting Russia’s revenue while promoting energy
market stability.
Finally, Latvia’s sustained commitment to strengthening its anti-money laundering/countering
the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime has enhanced the country’s ability to detect and
disrupt sanctions evasion and illicit financial activity.
