The negotiations revolved around safe navigation in the Black Sea and access to the world agricultural market

The White House has released a short statement on the US-Russia negotiations in Saudi Arabia, shedding some light on the more than 12-hour talks held on Monday.

The "bilateral technical-level talks" focused on the situation in the Black Sea, as well as the agreement to halt strikes on "energy facilities of Russia and Ukraine" proposed by US President Donald Trump, the White House said on Tuesday.

"The United States and Russia have agreed to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea," the statement reads.

The US has also pledged to "help restore Russia's access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports, lower maritime insurance costs, and enhance access to ports and payment systems for such transactions," according to the White House. Both Moscow and Washington remain committed to "working toward achieving a durable and lasting peace" to end the Ukraine conflict, it added.
