Biden Makes Move To Sabotage Trump’s Peace Plans
President Joe Biden is facing growing criticism for imposing severe sanctions on Russia’s oil industry just days before leaving office, a move seen by many as an effort to disrupt President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine. The sanctions are expected to raise gas prices for Americans, further straining the economy as the Biden administration ends.
Biden refused to explain why he waited until the final stretch of his presidency to enforce these sanctions, which he admitted would increase fuel costs. Critics argue that this move is part of a broader strategy by Biden and his allies in both political parties to escalate tensions with Russia, making it harder for Trump to fulfill his promise to broker peace in the region.
The sanctions target major Russian oil companies and over 180 oil-carrying vessels, aiming to cripple Russia’s economy by cutting off vital funding for its war efforts in Ukraine. This aggressive action follows Biden’s approval of billions in military aid to Ukraine and recent policy shifts that allowed Ukrainian forces to use U.S.-supplied weapons in strikes inside Russia.
These escalating measures suggest that Biden is determined to entrench U.S. involvement in the conflict before leaving office. The sanctions are expected to cost Russia billions of dollars monthly, but American consumers are already feeling the impact. Reports show global oil prices surged over 3% in response to the sanctions, pushing gas prices even higher at home.
Many believe Biden’s last-minute decisions are meant to block Trump’s path to securing peace. President Donald Trump has pledged to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table, promising to end the war and prevent further bloodshed. Yet, Biden’s actions risk prolonging the conflict and undermining any swift resolution once Trump takes office.
This latest move raises serious concerns that Biden’s administration is prioritizing political power over American economic stability and global peace.
