近日，在一次美国白宫例行记者会上，一名记者犀利提问发言人珍·普萨基，美国到底什么时候停止把所有麻烦都归咎于普京？要等到中期选举吗？

然而，普萨基的回答却“驴头不对马嘴”：因为俄乌冲突，汽油价格至少上涨了75美分。

值得注意的是，就在这时，在座其他记者有人睁大眼睛，有人憋不住笑了出来，表情亮了！

事实上，拜登政府将近期美国国内的问题甩锅给俄罗斯和普京的操作比比皆是。

"Today's inflation report is a reminder that Americans' budgets are being stretched by price increases and families are starting to feel the impacts of Putin's price hike. A large contributor to inflation this month was an increase in gas and energy prices as markets reacted to Putin's aggressive actions," Biden said in a statement.

He added, "As I have said from the start, there will be costs at home as we impose crippling sanctions in response to Putin's unprovoked war, but Americans can know this: The costs we are imposing on Putin and his cronies are far more devastating than the costs we are facing."

当地时间14日，拜登又在另一场讲话中将美国高涨的油价归咎于普京：目前油价飙升主要是弗拉基米尔·普京的错，这与“美国救援计划”无关。该计划指的是拜登提出的总价1.9万亿美元的经济刺激政府开支计划。

"Make no mistake: The current spike in gas prices is largely the fault of Vladimir Putin. It has nothing to do with the American Rescue Plan," Biden said.

对此，普京则呼吁西方，不要再继续“甩锅”给俄罗斯。

据塔斯社报道，普京认为，欧盟的能源价格在增长，但不是俄罗斯的错，这是他们计算错误的结果，不应该为此责备俄罗斯。这同样适用于美国石油和石油产品价格飙升。“他们试图把自己的错误带来的后果归咎于我们。”

"The prices there are growing, but not through our fault. This is the result of their own miscalculations. They should not blame us for this," Putin said.

"The same applies to the surge in prices for oil and petroleum products in the United States. They are trying to shift blame for the results of their own mistakes on us." 

According to him, "because the supply of Russian oil to the American market does not exceed 3%."

"This is a negligible volume, and their prices are rising. We have absolutely nothing to do with it, and even here the ban on Russian oil imports has absolutely nothing to do with it. They just hide behind these decisions in order to once again deceive their own population," Putin said.

President Joe Biden's job approval ratings keep falling in his second year in the White House, with just 40 percent of Americans approving of the job he is doing, a new NBC News survey finds.That is the lowest rating Biden has seen in his presidency.

A total of 71 percent of respondents to the poll said they believe the country is "off on the wrong track."
