US working towards global alliance far beyond G7, NATO partners: White House

Washington, Mar 15 (PTI) The Biden administration is working to build a global coalition far beyond the G-7 and NATO partners, the White House has said.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Monday that some of the biggest countries such as China, India, Brazil and Mexico are not part of America’s economic war against Russia, but that it does not undermine the Biden administration’s efforts against Moscow. does.

“Not only China, but some of the biggest countries in the world like India or Brazil, some countries in Latin America like Mexico, they are not part of this economic war against Russia. Is this something that undermines the White House effort? and European countries? “I would say it does not undermine our efforts. We are working to build a global alliance far beyond the G7 and our NATO partners, and have had great success. And every country has to decide where they want to stand, where they want to be as we look and the history books are written,” Saki said during his daily news conference.

“As we have seen, the influence of the President’s leadership on the global stage and its economic consequences has pushed Russia and the Russian economy to the brink of collapse. And there is no question that over time, that effect will,” he said. Said in response to a question.

Saki said China is unlikely to be of much help to Russia during these economic sanctions.

“I think one of what we’re seeing here is that if China has to decide to be an economic provider or Russia has to take additional steps, they make up only 15 to 20 percent of the world’s economy. G7 countries make up more than 50 percent. Therefore, we have many tools at our disposal and the coordination we need to use them with our European partners,” she said.

But it is an area the United States is closely monitoring, Saki said, adding that there will be consequences if China provides military supplies to Russia.

At the State Department’s Foggy Bottom Headquarters, its spokesman, Ned Price, said the US was closely watching the extent to which China, or any country in the world, provided material, economic, financial, rhetorical or otherwise, for a war of this choice. Is. President Vladimir Putin is fighting against Ukraine and its people.

“And we have been very clear with Beijing, privately and publicly, that any such support will have consequences,” Price told reporters.

“Russia and China, when you add up their GDP, it’s like 25 percent of the global GDP. When you add up the GDP, the United States, the European Union, our allies in the Indo-Pacific, our other add up to the economic power of allies. And partners who are associated with us, more than 50 percent,” he said.

“So, there is no country that is capable of completely taking Moscow out of it. The only thing that can take the pressure off, which can in a meaningful way remove Moscow from the quagmire it has created for itself is For Putin to change course, to de-escalate and end the violence,” Price said.
