US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Thursday, March 24, that US President Joe Biden will announce new sanctions against Russia.
An extraordinary NATO summit will be held in Brussels on March 24, which will be attended by Biden.
Biden will talk about sanctions with the allies.
“All I can say is that the president will not only focus on the new sanctions but also on ensuring that a joint effort is made to prevent an invasion of Ukraine. This is an important part of the next phase,” Said Jake Sullivan.
Joe Biden will talk to European leaders about "energy security and joint steps to reduce Europe's dependence on Russian gas in the long run."
"The president is also talking about human rights and responding to the growing influx of refugees from Ukraine." Said Sullivan.
Biden will attend G7 meetings and will also travel to Poland, where, as Sullivan says, he “will meet with American troops involved in the defense of NATO territory, as well as experts involved in humanitarian issues.”
The US President will also meet with the leader of Poland, Andrzej Duda. Sullivan does not know whether or not Biden will meet Ukrainian refugees.
