Psaki dodges question on financing Putin's war

 DailyWire:

Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich challenged press secretary Jen Psaki directly during Thursday’s briefing, asking whether or not the United States was effectively “financing the war” Russia continues to wage against Ukraine.

Heinrich suggested that as long as the sanctions imposed did not attack the energy sector and United States continued to purchase oil and gas from Russia, Americans would be indirectly financing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war every time they filled up their gas tanks.
...

“As long as we’re buying Russian oil, though, aren’t we financing the war?” Heinrich asked.

“Well, Jacqui, again, it’s only about 10% of what we’re importing. I’ve not made any announcement about any decision on that front,” Psaki replied.

Heinrich also asked about President Joe Biden’s strategy to fix inflation — namely his contention that manufacturers should increase production in the United States to drive prices down — and pressed Psaki on why the administration would not apply the same logic to energy production.

“On gas, you just said less supply raises prices, it’s not in our strategic interest to reduce the supply, we also know the president as recently as yesterday talked about increasing domestic manufacturing to bring down prices on inflated items like goods, so why not apply the same logic to energy and increase domestic production here?” Heinrich asked.
...

Heinrich is right.  Biden has been reducing the supply to drive up the cost to push his "climate change" agenda for his Big Green voters.  He is not willing to admit that they are wrong and are the cause of this war. 

It should be noted that it is not just the 10% of US oil bought from Russia that is the problem.  By reducing the supply Biden has driven up the price worldwide and that benefits Putin far more than the amount he sells to the US.  Putin is making more on every gallon he sells to anyone because the US reduced the supply.
