White House has announced that Joe Biden will deliver his farewell speech on January 15 from the Oval Office. Outgoing US President plans to address the nation before officially stepping down from office.

In his final days Biden administration has imposed strict sanctions on Russia’s energy sector. Analysts believe this move aims to reduce Russia’s income and support Ukraine.

US Treasury Department stated that over 180 ships and Russian energy companies like Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas are now under sanctions. Biden mentioned that these sanctions might slightly increase gas prices, but they are expected to deeply impact Russia’s economy.
On the same day Biden criticized Meta’s decision to shut down its fact-checking program on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. He called the move “shameful.”
Meta had earlier announced plans to relax rules around discussions on topics like gender identity and immigration. Observers think this decision may be an attempt to strengthen ties with the incoming administration.
