Psaki Speaks On Ukraine, Inflation, Venezuela, Covid, JCPOA

WHITE HOUSE
  • Question: What is the evidence for Russian false flag operations? Psaki: 'We're not going to get into specific intelligence but Russia has large stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons.'
  • Psaki says the objective of disclosing information about Russian chemical and biological weapons was 'to make clear the inaccuracy of the information that they put out and highlight Russia's chemical and biological weapon capability.' Psaki says that Russia has a track record of using chemical weapons.
  • According to Psaki the White House believes that Putin miscalculated the Ukrainian resistance.
  • On the Covid-19 funding removal from the FY22 omnibus. Psaki: 'We need this money [Covid-19] to continue the fight. That why we requested USD22.5 billion. We are ahead of the pandemic because of the money invested and will continue to push for the money.'
  • President Biden and Turkish President Erdogan had a 'constructive and lengthy call today.' Psaki said she does not have any additional specifics about whether of not the leaders discussed the closed of the Bosporus and blocking Russian access to the Black Sea.
  • Psaki continues to assert that the primary reason for a Biden administration visit to Venezuela was to ensure the release of US prisoners.
  • Psaki says the main driver of inflation numbers is high energy prices. 'We do anticipate gas and electricity prices going up but this will be temporary and not long-lasting.'
  • On the progress on Iran JCPOA: 'Our views is that we are close, and have been for some time now. The end of negotiations are typically when the difficult and challenging conversations take place. We will keep talking.'
