US does not seek escalation with Russia, but their actions have consequences - Biden - TASS

The United States does not seek to escalate tensions with Russia, but Moscow's actions will have consequences. This is according to the speech by US President Joe Biden.

 

The White House published the remarks on its website by the time the President began to deliver his address to a joint session of Congress.

"With regard to Russia, I made very clear to President Putin that while we don’t seek escalation, their actions have consequences," Biden said.

"I responded in a direct and proportionate way to Russia’s interference in our elections and cyberattacks on our government and businesses - and they did both of those things and I did respond," he noted.

Biden added that Moscow and Washington can cooperate when it’s in their mutual interests. "As we did when we extended the New START Treaty on nuclear arms - and as we’re working to do on the climate crisis," he said.

"I kept my commitment to convene a climate summit right here in America, with all of the major economies of the world - from China and Russia to India and the European Union in my first 100 days," Biden said speaking about the climate change.
