Bice Backs Ban

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Stephanie Bice issued the following statement after President Biden announced an import ban for Russian oil:

“American dollars should not be used to fund the invasion of Ukraine or the war efforts of the Kremlin. This is why I support the embargo on Russian oil. Unfortunately, due to the situation in Eastern Europe, President Biden’s energy policies have created a crisis. This embargo must be accompanied by concrete solutions to restore American energy production and independence. President Biden must end the federal freeze on all new oil and gas projects, fast-track pending LNG exports, which would allow our allies to end their reliance on Putin and his oligarchs, stop the regulatory assault on American energy development, and expedite all pipeline and energy development."
