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
