Psaki after Russian sanctions ruled out Biden's plans for tours to the country According to Jen Psaki, US

President Joe Biden and other US officials do not plan tourist trips to Russia and do not have bank accounts in the country. This was stated by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, answering a question about the sanctions imposed by Moscow, the broadcast was conducted by the YouTube channel of The Washington Post.

“It may surprise you, but none of us are planning tourist trips to Russia, none of us have bank accounts there that need to be accessed,” she said.

In addition, Psaki pointed out that Russian diplomats made an inaccuracy in the name of the US president by not adding the word “junior” to it (junior, jr. -). “So maybe they sanctioned his father – may he rest in peace,” said a White House press secretary (Biden’s father’s name is exactly the same as indicated in English in the Foreign Ministry’s message - Joseph Robinette Biden.).

Russia has imposed sanctions against US President, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin, and Psaki herself. In total, the restrictions affected 13 US officials. “This step, taken as a counter-reaction, was the inevitable consequence of the extremely Russophobic course taken by the current US administration, which, in a desperate attempt to maintain American hegemony, relied on the frontal containment of Russia, discarding all decorum,” the Russian Foreign Ministry explained.
