Biden says he was 'expressing my outrage' but not making a policy change when he said Putin 'cannot remain in power'
CNN
President Joe Biden said Monday that he was not announcing a change in US policy when he said during a speech over the weekend that Russian President Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power."
"I just was expressing my outrage -- he shouldn't remain in power, just like, you know, bad people shouldn't continue to do bad things," Biden said in response to a question from CNN's Kaitlan Collins. "But it doesn't mean we have a fundamental policy to do anything to take Putin down in any way."
Two days after Biden's return from Europe, the improvised comment about Putin has hovered over the White House.
