Alaska is oil rich and Biden refuses more USA oil.

Description

President Joe Biden announced Tuesday the U.S. will ban all Russian oil imports, toughening the toll on Russia’s economy in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine, but he acknowledged it will bring costs to Americans, particularly at the gas pump. The action follows pleas by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to U.S. and Western officials to cut off the imports, which had been a glaring omission in the massive sanctions put in place on Russia over the invasion. Energy exports have kept a steady stream of cash flowing to Russia despite otherwise severe restrictions on its financial sector. “We will not be part of subsidizing Putin’s war,” Biden declared, calling the new action a “powerful blow” against Russia's ability to fund the ongoing offensive. He warned that Americans will see rising prices, saying, “Defending freedom is going to cost.” Biden never mentioned that he would ease any restrictions on gas and oil in America that he imposed in 2021 with executive orders. He decided Russian oil would be better for America. His solution is to start importing oil from Venezuelan crude oil and Iran oil. What ever happened to our America first policy? It must have been a Trump quote.
