Biden administration imposes tough new sanctions targeting Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin attends a meeting via video conference at the Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow, April 15, 2021.
The Biden administration has imposed significant sanctions against Russia. The sanctions tackle what the White House calls “harmful foreign activities by the Russian government.” And, following the US announced plan to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by September, women fear a return to the dark days of oppression and abuse under Taliban rule. Also, boba, the chewy tapioca pearls in bubble tea, are in short supply due to shipping backups at ports in the US. But the concerns about a nationwide boba shortage may be unwarranted.
