Joe Biden

Today, I`m announcing the United States is targeting the main artery of Russia`s economy. We`re banning all imports of Russian oil and gas and energy. That means Russian oil will no longer be acceptable at U.S. ports, and American people…

We are going to shut down fossil use in this country.

And I'm really so glad that just after one week of being President of the United States, Joe Biden signed this Executive order to put together a program to tackle climate change and to focus on collaboration, assess our vulnerabilities…

One way to fight inflation is to drive down wages and make Americans poor, I think have a better idea to fight inflation. Lower your cost, not your wages.

We are coming for their ill-begotten gains.

Tonight, I say to the Russian oligarchs and the corrupt leaders who built billions of dollars off this violent regime, no more.

He badly miscalculated. He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead, he met with a wall of strength he never anticipated or imagined. He met the Ukrainian people.

The United States Department of Justice is assembling a dedicated task force to go after the crimes of the Russian oligarchic. We are joining our European allies to find and seize their yachts and luxury apartments, the private jets.

Now is the hour, our moment of responsibility, our test to resolve and conscience of history itself.

We send an unmistakable signal to Ukraine and to the world that we, the United States of America, stand with the Ukrainian people. We stand with them. Putin is now isolated from the world more than ever and we`ll continue to aid the…

Presidents Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, literally inspires the world. Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees to teachers, turned…

Nothing is off the table.

We’re done talking about infrastructure weeks. We’re going to have an infrastructure decade.

The American Rescue Plan helped working people—and left no one behind.

We are giving more than $1 Billion in direct assistance to Ukraine.

When the history of this era is written, Putin’s war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.

Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he will never gain the hearts and souls of the Ukrainian people.

We're coming for your ill-begotten gains.

Yes, Putin has committed a war crime, by going after civilian infrastructure, which has nothing to do, with Ukrainian defense or Ukrainian military.

And thanks to the progress we`ve made in the past year, COVID-19 no longer need control our lives.

Every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination literally inspires the world.

One of our nation`s top legal minds, who will continue in Justice Breyer`s legacy of excellence.

One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a president has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court, as I did four days ago. I`ve nominated Circuit Court of Appeals` Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Putin’s war was premeditated and unprovoked. He rejected efforts at diplomacy. He thought the west and NATO wouldn’t respond. And he thought he could divide us here at home. Putin was wrong. We were ready.

Lower your costs, not your wages.
