This is the best summary I could come up with:
“The percentage of Russian battlefield weaponry with US or allied branded components is alarmingly and unacceptably high,” said Daleep Singh, US deputy national security advisor for international economics.
Singh was speaking at an event hosted by Washington think tank Brookings Institution on May 28 when he urged US tech companies to be more vigilant with their exports, per Bloomberg.
The 48-year-old Harvard and MIT graduate is widely seen as the architect of the Biden administration’s economic sanctions on Russia when it first invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
Singh left the White House for the private sector in February 2022 and was named PGIM Fixed Income’s chief global economist in June 2022.
According to an investigation conducted by Nikkei Asia last year, Russia still managed to acquire hundreds of millions of dollars worth of US-made chips in spite of prevailing sanctions.
Representatives for the State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI sent outside regular business hours.
