Video of Biden Adviser Defending 'Liberal World Order' Viewed Over 1M Times - According to World101, an online course from the Council on Foreign Relations think tank, the "liberal world order" refers to a "series of international organizations and agreements to promote global cooperation on issues including security, trade, health, and monetary policy." It was created by world leaders in the wake of World War II in an effort to prevent the world from devolving into such violence again, and the U.S. has "championed" the system since, according to the explainer.

Brian Deese, President Biden’s Director of National Economic Council, defended the administration’s energy policies on Thursday in an interview on CNN.
“What we heard from the president today was about the stakes,” Deese said. “This is about the future of the liberal world order and we have to stand firm. But at the same time what I’d say to that family, to Americans across the country is, you have a present administration that is going to do everything in its power to blunt those price increases and bring those prices down.”
VICTOR BLACKWELL, CNN: The military analysts, the Director of National Intelligence say this can be a long war measured in years. I think everybody understands why this is happening but is it sustainable? What do you say to those families who say, listen, we can’t afford to pay 4.85 a gallon for months, if not years. This is not sustainable.
BRIAN DEESE, BIDEN ADVISER: What we heard from the president today was about the stakes. This is about the future of the liberal world order and we have to stand firm. But at the same time what I’d say to that family, to Americans across the country is, you have a present administration that is going to do everything in its power to blunt those price increases and bring those prices down.
Good news, over the past two weeks, we’ve seen the price at the pump come down 20 cents but it is still unacceptably high. That’s why the president earlier this week was working to bring the G7 allies together around, exploring something around a price cap. To cap the price that can be paid for Russian oil. Which will actually target the pain more directly on Vladimir Putin and not on the rest of the world.
