U.S. Imposes New Economic Sanctions On Russia
President Biden is ordering a new round of economic sanctions on Russia — a response in part to Moscow’s election meddling and a Kremlin-linked computer breach that penetrated numerous U.S. government networks.
Biden said Thursday that the United States isn’t pushing for “a cycle of escalation and conflict” with Russia, but instead for both nations to manage tensions and work together when needed.
But the president also said that during a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he made it clear that any actions taken against the United States would be met with proportionate repercussions.
