Daleep Singh, Biden’s Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economics, is the great grandnephew of first Indian American Congressman.

Daleep Singh, a senior Indian American advisor to US President Joe Biden, is leading the US sanctions against Russia and President Vladimir Putin’s inner caucus set off by Russia’s roguish behaviour in Ukraine. He told White House reporters on February 22, that no Russian financial institution is safe if Moscow attacks Kyiv.

Working for the government runs in Singh’s family. His great granduncle, Daleep Sing Saund, was the first Indian American to serve in the US Congress from 1957 to 1963.    

Daleep Singh, who is the current deputy National Security Advisor at the National Security Council and deputy director of the National Economic Council in the White House, appeared at the White House press briefing Tuesday, for the second time in four days, to outline Biden’s response to Putin.

“Russia’s long-previewed invasion of Ukraine has begun and so, too, has our response, Today, the President responded swiftly and in lockstep with Allies and partners,” he Singh.

“In previous sanctions regimes, it took weeks and months to mount a decisive response. This time, we announced our first tranche of sanctions in less than a day and in lockstep with Allies and partners in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and Australia,” said Singh.

“We’ve demonstrated the potency of our financial sanctions. And make — make no mistake: This is only the sharp edge of the pain we can inflict.”

“This was the beginning of an invasion, and this is the beginning of our response.” He said that the actions that were taken on Tuesday we only the “first tranche”.

 

“If Putin escalates further, we will escalate further using financial sanctions and export controls, which we’ve yet to unveil but which are fully prepared to implement with Allies and partners across the world,” Singh declared to reporters present at the White House briefing.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on 21 February recognised Donetsk and Luhansk as independent from Ukraine, and also sent Russian troops into the two separatist-controlled regions for “peacekeeping”.

Australia also announced restrictions targeting Russian transport, energy and telecommunications sectors. Further, they imposed travel bans and targeted financial sanctions on eight members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. Japan, too, imposed sanctions suspending visa issuance and freezing assets of select individuals linked to recognizing the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk.

He was also a partner at Element Capital Management from 2007 to 2008. He has also worked as Senior Partner and Chief US Economist at SPX Capital, a global investment firm, from 2017 to 2019.
