U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen met with U.K Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt on the sidelines of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Marrakech, Morocco on Friday, the U.S. State Department said.

Yellen and Hunt discussed "joint actions to deny Russia revenue to fund its brutal war and highlighted the importance of collectively supporting Ukraine’s economic assistance needs," the State Department said.
