"The President did not discuss specifically sanctions yesterday... I think, obviously, that's a conversation that the two leaders are going to have, and everybody is open to it. But first and foremost, we want a solution to that means an end to the fighting. We want to get to the ceasefire. That's the president's policy. And we're going to get to the ceasefire. And I think after that, everything else will be a detailed, sanctions relief and all the other things, that go with a full on peace treaty," Witkoff said.
