Jeo Biden Bans Russian Oil Import: In response to the ‘United States’ Prez Joe Biden decision to ban Russian oil imports, Vladimir Putin has banned American agricultural products from entering Russia. This will hit America’s economy hard in retaliation for their invasion of Ukraine.
Biden announced that the U.S. is banning all imports of Russian gas, including oil and energy.
“We are moving forward with this ban understanding that some of our European allies and partners may not be in a position to join us,” Biden said.
The Vice President said that the US understands that some of its European allies and partners may not be able to participate in the ban, but they’re still moving forward with it. The Vice President also said that the US is still committed to working with these allies and partners.
US President Joe Biden said that the economic sanctions are causing significant damage to Russia’s economy.
