Washington: President Joe Biden snapped at a reporter who pressed him about Vladimir Putin\u2019s recent threat of war in response to Kyiv\u2019s use of long-range missiles. The confrontation occurred as Biden began a White House meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Washington. Mr Biden told Sky News US correspondent James Matthews to be quiet and let him finish his statement first.<\/p>\n
\u201cI say you be quiet until I speak. Okay? That\u2019s what I say. Good idea?\u201d scolded the 81-year-old US president, Joe Biden, as he opened a meeting at the White House on Friday. This exchange occurred amid reports suggesting the US might permit Ukraine to use Western missiles deep within Russian territory. The president was being questioned about his stance on Vladimir Putin\u2019s warning that such actions could lead to a conflict between Russia and NATO.<\/p>\n
Despite being scolded, the journalist continued, \u201cBut what do you say to [Russian President] Vladimir Putin\u2019s threat of war, sir? It\u2019s a serious threat.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got to be quiet,\u201d Biden again repeated. \u201cI\u2019m going to make a statement here, okay?\u201d According to POST, The journalist seemed to be part of the travelling British press, so they probably didn\u2019t know about the American way of not asking questions until the president finished talking.<\/p>\n
For months, Ukrainian President Zelensky has been urging his allies to allow his military to use long-range US ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles against Russian forces responsible for daily devastation in Ukraine. In response, President Biden said, \u201cI don\u2019t think much about Vladimir Putin.\u201d On Monday, he confirmed that he is considering easing restrictions on Kyiv\u2019s use of US-supplied weapons against Russia. \u201cWe\u2019re working that out right now,\u201d Biden told reporters on the White House lawn, according to the POST.<\/p>\n
This follows Putin\u2019s warning that any such US actions would result in Russia being \u201cat war with NATO.\u201d He said that setting up missiles for the West would need NATO soldiers, which means the group would be directly facing off with Russia. \u201cAnd if this is so, then, bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be created for us,\u201d he said in a statement earlier.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
