Biden WON'T ban Russian oil: Press kicked of Cabinet meeting during questions on Russian energy and Psaki snaps at reporters as Nancy Pelosi leads lawmakers urging White House to stop imports

"The White House does not support a ban on Russian oil imports, according to press secretary
Jen Psaki, despite even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joining in on the calls for the U.S. to cease buying Moscow's fuel. 
'We don't have a strategic interest in reducing the global supply of energy, and that would raise prices at the gas pump for the American people,' Psaki told reporters Thursday. 
Reporters shouted down President Biden on Thursday as he took part in a Cabinet meeting.
'Will you ban Russian oil?' a reporter asked as the press pool was ushered out of the meeting before the Cabinet began its discussion. 
'He said No! Let's go!' a Biden staffer said as they ushered press out of the room. 'No, he didn't.' 'He didn't respond to anything,' multiple reporters were heard grumbling.
The press secretary ruled out resurrecting the Keystone Pipeline as a means for upping U.S. fuel production." DM
