Biden National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan: Biden Focused On “Relief To Consumers At The Pump”
JAKE SULLIVAN: “The thing that we ultimately stand for is a stable, effective supply of energy … so that we can, in fact, deliver relief to consumers at the pump.”

Q: Credit card delinquencies have spiked, How is that fair to citizens in, say, Scranton?
“Credit card delinquencies have spiked. Mortgage rates are through the roof. Inflation remains a problem … and the president wants to increase funding to foreign nations through the World Bank. How is that fair to citizens in, say, Scranton?”

JAKE SULLIVAN: “That is going to end up reducing the costs and burdens on working people in Minneapolis or Scranton…”

Revisionist history from Biden National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan: “Under the administration before the previous guy, Iran’s nuclear program was in a box. The last guy let it out of the box.”

Biden Asked Congress $25B For World Bank, Is Fair When Inflation High, Triple Deficit & Credit card delinquencies?

Reporter: Jake, it seems like every administration, when it gets into office, complains about the problems it inherits from the previous administration. But how do you defend this administration’s role with issues like Russia, China, North Korea, Iran? It seems like, in all of those cases, our relationship is worse than it was before?

MR. SULLIVAN: … With respect to China, I’m not sure I’d agree with your characterization of the previous administration. But I’m not interested in comparisons. We’re taking our own approach on this, which is to ensure that we compete intensively to put the United States in the strongest position possible while, at the same time, managing that competition so that it doesn’t tip over into conflict. We believe we are managing the competition effectively.

And from the question of what we inherited to where we are today, if you look at the U.S. economy and you look at China’s economy, if you look at the U.S.’s alliances and the strength that we have built up in the Indo-Pacific and beyond, we feel very good about the strategic position of the United States

With respect to Iran, I would just point out that, under the administration before the previous guy, Iran’s nuclear program was in a box. The last guy let it out of the box. We are now trying to manage the results of that decision. And we are doing so while deterring Iran from going for a nuclear weapon. And we have thus far been able to do that. It’s something we remain vigilant about every day.

And finally, with respect to North Korea, the previous administration believed that if it simply engaged in summit-level diplomacy, it could end North Korea’s missile and nuclear program.

By the time we took office, North Korea’s missile and nuclear programs had accelerated dramatically. The most important breakthrough we had seen from them — the first test of an intercontinental ballistic missile — that didn’t happen on Joe Biden’s watch; that happened before he came to office.
