“Regime change” in Russia is not American policy, the U.S. ambassador to NATO said.
Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Ambassador Julianne Smith saidSaturday that “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power” was not meant to demand that President Vladimir Putin be toppled in Russia.
“Let me be clear and just state right off the the bat that the U.S. does not have a policy of regime change toward Russia,” Smith told host John Roberts. When pressed further on Biden’s seemingly off-the-cuff statement, Smith seemed to suggest that the president’s statement might have been an emotional response to his encounters earlier in the day with refugees from the war now in Poland.
Later on the same show, Rep. Ro Khanna also suggested that Biden’s remark was based on his emotions.Sen. Jim Risch told CNN’s Dana Bash that regardless of his motives, Biden needed to be more disciplined.
