U.S. President Joe Biden has told reporters he makes “no apologies” for saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”
The words came at the end of a speech in Warsaw on March 26 to cap off a visit to Europe last week, raising concern when they were interpreted as meaning that Biden was calling for regime change.
The White House and Secretary of State Antony Blinken rushed to clarify the comment over the weekend, and Biden on March 28 sought to further clarify it, saying it was an expression of “moral outrage,” not new policy.
