Daleep Singh, President Joe Biden’s deputy national security
adviser for international economics has said that the United States’ plan is to
degrade and downgrade Russia’s status as a leading energy supplier.
He said that the goal of the multiple sanctions on Russia by
U.S and its allies is “putting the pain to President Vladimir Putin and making
sure Americans don’t pay.”
Countries, especially in the West, have hit Russia from
different angles with various sanctions since last Thursday when President
Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine.
And as the war enters the eighth day, there are growing
concerns that the financial impact will be felt in the U.S, especially in
higher gas prices.
Singh told CNN that the U.S does not “have a strategic
interest in reducing global energy supplies,” a maneuver which would “only
increase prices at the pump for Americans, and pad Putin’s profits.”
He said instead that the plan is in “degrading and
downgrading Russia’s status as a leading energy supplier.”
The presidential adviser said the Joe Biden’s administration
aimed to cut U.S consumption of Russian oil while maintaining global energy
supplies, adding “That’s really our goal.”
