After a day of intense global diplomacy in Brussels, President Biden said Russia should be removed from the Group of 20 nations. If the other member countries do not agree to the expulsion, he said, then Ukraine should be allowed to participate.
Between back-to-back summits with NATO, the Group of 7 and the European Union, the U.S. also announced new sanctions, targeting more than 300 members of the Russian Parliament and dozens of defense companies, while moving to restrict Russia’s ability to use gold reserves to prop up its currency.
Biden also pledged to take in 100,000 refugees from Ukraine and donate $1 billion to help European nations handle the surge of displaced Ukrainians.
A majority of Americans feel Biden hasn’t cracked down hard enough on Russia according to a poll.
