US President Joe Biden decided to extend the state of emergency due to Russia's war in Ukraine. The leader of the White House sent a letter to Congress asking for the extension of the emergency measures that were to expire on April 15, informs stiriletvr.ro.
In the document, Biden appreciates that Moscow continues to represent a threat to the national security of the United States. Russia threatens the economy, American foreign policy and is trying to influence the US elections, reads the White House leader's letter. A state of emergency in the United States due to the threat to national security from certain dangerous actions by the Russian Federation was declared on April 15, 2021. On March 8, 2022, the Executive Order was issued to expand the scope of the state of emergency. After the large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Western countries continued to impose sanctions on the Russian Federation, previously associated with the annexation of Crimea.
