A senior Biden administration official on Thursday defended the commander-in-chief’s remarks that U.S. drivers should expect to pay higher prices at the pump until the Russia-Ukraine war is over, with National Economic Council Director Brian Deese saying that inflation-weary Americans must “stand firm” and defend the “liberal world order.”

Deese made the remarks in an appearance on CNN on June 30, during which he was asked to comment on President Joe Biden’s response to a journalist who asked the president how long American drivers can reasonably be expected to “pay a premium for this war.”
