Response to Republican senator who called for the assassination of Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war, he gave on Friday night the White House.
“We are not in favor of the assassination of the leader of a foreign country or in favor of regime change. “This is not the policy of the United States,” said Joe Biden Jen Daki, a spokeswoman for US President George W. Bush.
The Republican senator from South Carolina Lindsay Graham had asked “someone in Russia” to get rid of “this guy”, referring to Putin. «Is there a Brutus in Russia? “Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian army?” he wondered.
Meanwhile, Cecilia Raus, the White House economic adviser, said the government was considering options if it decided to limit the consumption of Russian energy resources in the United States. He also noted that the United States does not import “too much” Russian oil.
“The important “is to maintain a stable supply,” he told reporters at the White House. The government is “considering the various options it could implement immediately” if needed, he added.
