Biden Bans Russian Oil Imports Over Ukraine War – Zero Hedge
Francesco Abbruzzino, The Uncensored Report, LLC
President Joe Biden is expected to ban announced a US ban on Russian oil imports in a Tuesday speech to ‘hold Russia accountable’ for the invasion of Ukraine, according to the Associated Press.
The glaring omission amid an avalanche of sanctions comes nearly a week after White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked by Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich if the US was ‘funding the war’ by continuing to buy Russian oil – after which the Biden admin scrambled to reach out to Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Iran to increase production, as opposed to immediately tapping into job-creating domestic sources.
