President JoeBiden’s climate change policies are hampering the United States's efforts to counter Russian aggression against Ukraine, according to one of his top congressional allies.
“I don't know that there's a coherent strategy, and if there is, I think the messages are mixed,” Sen. Tim Kaine told State Department officials during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. “I don't really believe that the U.S. is full-throated leaning into helping our European allies deal with their energy needs.
State Department Assistant Secretary Karen Donfried, who leads the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, acknowledged the need to “wean” Europe off of Russian energy supplies. Kaine conceded that the just-scrapped drilling auctions would not cure the energy crisis, but he described the decision as a"mixed message" amid the crisis in Europe. He surmised that the various components of Biden’s administration have failed to engage in “meaningful cooperation” with each other to balance competing U.S. interests.
U.S. officials have attempted to square those circles by urging other major energy producers such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to increase their output in order to offset a prospective embargo on Russian oil, but the Gulf states have declined, to the frustration of U.S. policymakers.
