The Biden administration on Friday targeted Russia’s energy sector, including its oil industry, with some of its harshest sanctions to date meant to cut off funding for Moscow’s war against Ukraine.

The sweeping moves, taken just over a week before President Joe Biden leaves office, come as President-elect Donald Trump says he is readying to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin. They also have the potential to unnerve investors in energy markets.

The only thing "sweeping" about it is how quickly it'll be swept out of the way once Trump moves in.

Doing all these "radical" changes now in his lame duck period is a joke. The time for all of this was years ago, not just as you're about to be kicked out and have all of it reversed.

Does he not realise if he had done all this stuff earlier, he would've likely had much better voter turnout??
