The White House on Sunday was scrambling to backtrack on President Joe Biden's comments that he wanted Vladimir Putin to be replaced as Russia's leader. In an impromptu remark at the end of a 27-minute speech in Warsaw on Saturday, Biden said of Russian President Vladimir Putin, For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power. The remark sparked outrage since it meant that the US had made a significant shift in policy about Russia's future. Both Biden's Republican Party opponents and US foreign policy experts slammed the remarks. Also read: Joe Biden's budget blue print: $795 billion for defense, $915 billion for domestic programs,On a visit to Jerusalem on Sunday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated, We do not have a strategy of regime change in Russia – or anywhere else, for that matter. “I think the president, the White House, made the point last night [Saturday] that, quite simply, president Putin cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else,” he said. The US permanent representative to NATO sought to clarify any idea that Biden wanted Putin to be removed as Russia's leader, on Sunday. Also read: US President Joe Biden’s butcher remark on Russia's Vladimir Putin ‘alarming’: Kremlin,“The US does not have a policy of regime change in Russia. Full stop,” Julianne Smith stated on CNN's State of the Union. Ms Smith described the president's remarks as a principled human reaction in the moment to stories he heard on Saturday in talks with Ukrainian refugees displaced by the Russian invasion. She stated that Biden's words aimed to emphasise that the international community could not empower Putin to wage war in Ukraine or commit more acts of aggression in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of the country. Senator James Risch, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called Biden's remarks a horrendous gaffe. He expressed regret that the president did not confine his statements to his official script on Ukraine, which he commended.

She stated that the policy was not aimed at changing the regime in Moscow. The veteran American diplomat and head of the US Council on Foreign Relations, Richard Haass, said Biden's remarks were unhelpful and detrimental. He described them as a bad lapse in discipline that runs the risk of extending the scope and duration of the war. In tweets, he stated that the president's remarks made a difficult situation more difficult and a dangerous situation more dangerous.

No less true is you can only end a war with the adversary you have. That Putin’s Russia has acted criminally does not alter this truth. Regime change may be a hope but it cannot constitute the basis of our strategy,” he said.

Julianne Smith, the US ambassador to NATO, on Sunday said that Russia was unlikely to change focus on the Donbas region as it did not succeed in its original aims in Ukraine. ,But what we do have evidence of is the fact that the Russians have not succeeded in their original aims. And that was, as you well know, to take Kyiv in just a couple of days, she said. ,So, because of that, I think Russia is reassessing and they've indicated that they're going to alter their tactics, but let's give it some time. Next couple days, the United States, working closely with allies and the Ukrainian government will be looking for evidence of this shift, Smith added. Also Read: Joe Biden says Vladimir Putin 'can't remain in power', White House disagrees,Smith also defended the new measures NATO and the US introduced to continue to punish Russia in the wake of US President Joe Biden's trip, even as Ukrainian officials have voiced disappointment in the lack of support. Asked if NATO will give Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky fighter jets, Smith said, this is an evolving conversation, but ultimately no. On the question of cyberattack’s inclusion into the NATO charter, Smith declined to walk through hypotheticals, but said she did not doubt that if an ally were to come forward, and invoke Article 5, the alliance would be ready to respond and take action. Also Read: Blinken's Middle East- North Africa visit aimed at repolishing US ties,US has no policy to change regime in Russia ,Smith also said that the US does not have any policy on regime change in Russia. ,US President Joe Biden's administration continued on Sunday to clean up his off-the-cuff remark that Vladimir Putin cannot remain in power, made on his final day in Europe. Also Read: How would those accused of Ukraine war crimes be prosecuted?,Smith called Biden's surprising comments a principled human reaction, made after he spent the day seeing the firsthand tragedies of war, when he visited with hundreds of Ukrainian refugees, in a Sunday interview with CNN's Dana Bash on State of the Union. He went to the National Stadium in Warsaw and literally met with hundreds of Ukrainians. He heard their heroic stories as they were fleeing Ukraine in the wake of Russia's brutal war in Ukraine. In the moment, I think that was a principled human reaction to the stories that he had heard that day. Also Read: Emmanuel Macron fears verbal escalation after US President Joe Biden labels Russia's Vladimir Putin 'butcher',Still, Smith said, the US does not have a policy of regime change in Russia, full stop. Her comments come hours after Secretary of State Antony Blinken also tried to downplay the President's remarks while in Israel, saying, I think the President, the White House, made the point last night that, quite simply, President Putin cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else.

The White House on Wednesday unveiled a new COVID-19 plan that it said would no longer disrupt the daily lives of Americans. The new National Covid-19 Preparedness Plan, which will require additional funding from the US Congress, focuses on spending on COVID-19 treatments, preparing for new variants of the coronavirus, keeping schools and businesses open, and taking efforts to vaccinate everyone in the nation and eventually, the world. This plan lays out the roadmap to help us fight Covid-19 in the future as we move America from crisis to a time when Covid-19 does not disrupt our daily lives and is something we prevent, protect against and treat, read a summary of plan according to CNN, which saw a copy of the document. Also read | Sanctions make Russian oligarchs speak against Ukraine war, but discreetly,We look to a future when Americans no longer fear lockdowns, shutdowns, and our kids not going to school. It's a future when the country relies on the powerful layers of protection we have built and invests in the next generation of tools to stay ahead of this virus, the plan further said. Among the aforementioned dimensions of the plan is a new test to treat initiative that will provide those who test positive for COVID-19 anti-viral pills on spot, reported the Washington Post. As per CNN, vaccination of children under the age of five is also in consideration under the new plan, but is contingent on whether the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorises vaccines for children below five years of age, and on whether the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends vaccination for the age group. Also read | Donald Trump says he could make US richer from Russia-Ukraine conflict,The provisions of the new plan were reportedly all approved by President Joe Biden on Tuesday, prior to his State of the Union address, wherein the 79-year-old assured Americans of a restriction-free future while also warning them about the threat of the emergence of new coronavirus variants. Thanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives. We will continue to combat the virus as we do other diseases. And because this is a virus that mutates and spreads, we will stay on guard, Biden had said. Since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, the disease has taken more than 1 million American lives in addition to adversely affecting almost all facets of life.

Controversial congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed US President Joe Biden, calling him a dementia-ridden piece of crap, following the 79-year-old's first State of the Union Address wherein Biden confused Ukraine with Iran. Under President Trump, this [war] would have never happened.

US President Joe Biden, no stranger to media gaffes, appeared to confuse Ukraine with another country yet again in his first State of the Union address on March 2. Speaking from the US Capitol, the 79-year-old said, Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but will never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people. He will never extinguish their love of freedom and he will never weaken the resolve of the free world, Biden said as he went on with his speech completely unaware of what he had just said. Also read | ‘Against Russia, we won’t manage’: Ukraine wants no-fly zone, US not keen,Vice President Kamala Harris, who was seated behind the President, appeared to mouth Ukrainian, as Biden continued his speech, and the moment was captured on camera. As clips of President Biden's gaffe were circulated, the internet had a field day. The gaffe comes a day after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is in the besieged capital city of Kyiv with Ukrainian forces, sent a message to President Biden through a CNN interview. It's very serious. I'm not in a movie. I'm not iconic, I think Ukraine is iconic. Ukraine is the heart of Europe, and now I think Europe sees Ukraine is something special for this world. That's why [the] world can't lose this something special. Ukraine bears the full brunt of a Russian invasion, and its capital, Kyiv, lies besieged. Also read | 6,000 Russian troops killed in 7 days, says Zelensky; Kyiv under threat,This is not the first time that Biden has confused Ukraine with other countries. A couple of weeks earlier, in an interview with NBC, the President had said, There was no way we were ever going to unite Ukraine. I mean Iraq...Afghanistan. Back then, Biden had come under fire for the gaffe, with many critics suggesting that the President had become senile or had dementia.

President Joe Biden related a faulty Democratic talking point about guns in his first State of the Union speech, made his plan on electric vehicles sound more advanced than it is and inflated the sweep of his infrastructure package. On several fronts, he presented ambitions as achievements. A look at some of his claims Tuesday night and a glance at the Republican response:,COVID-19,BIDEN: Severe cases are down to a level not seen since July of last year. THE FACTS: Biden overstated the improvement, omitting a statistic that remains a worrisome marker of the toll from COVID-19. While hospitalizations indeed are down from last summer, deaths remain high. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID tracker shows 289 deaths on July 1, 2021. This past Monday the CDC tracker reported 1,985 deaths. Also Read: In Pics | Joe Biden delivers first State of the Union address,___,GUNS,BIDEN, asking Congress to pass measures he said would reduce gun violence: Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry in America that can't be sued, the only one. THE FACTS: That's false. While gun manufacturers do have legal protections from being held liable for injuries caused by criminal misuse of their weapons thanks to the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, they are not exempt or immune from being sued. ,The law lays out exceptions where manufacturers or dealers can be held liable for damages their weapons cause, such as defects or damages in the design of the gun, negligence, or breach of contract or warranty regarding the purchase of a gun. Families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, sued gun maker Remington, alleging wrongful marketing of firearms, and last month agreed to a $73 million settlement. Also Read: Joe Biden's first State of the Union: Key takeaways,___,ECONOMY,BIDEN, promoting his $1 trillion infrastructure law: We're done talking about infrastructure weeks. We're now talking about an infrastructure decade. ... We'll build a national network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations. ,THE FACTS: Not so fast. The bipartisan legislation approved by Congress ended up providing just half of the $15 billion that Biden had envisioned to fulfill a campaign promise of 500,000 charging stations by 2030. Biden's Build Back Better proposal aimed to fill the gap by adding back billions to pay for charging stations. But Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. in December declared that bill dead in its present form due to cost. Administration officials now say the infrastructure law will help pave the way for up to 500,000 charging outlets by 2030. That's different than charging stations, which could have several outlets. They say private investments could help fill the gap. Currently there are over 100,000 EV outlets in the U.S. The Transportation Department's plan asks states to build a nationwide network of EV charging stations that would place new or upgraded ones every 50 miles along interstate highways. The $5 billion in federal money over five years relies on cooperation from sprawling rural communities in the U.S. which are less likely to own EVs due to their typically higher price. States are expected to start construction as early as fall. ___,BIDEN, on Intel's plans for new factories in central Ohio: Up to eight state-of-the-art factories in one place, 10,000 new jobs. THE FACTS: His statement is premature. That many factories are not imminent and may or may not ever be built. Earlier this year, Intel announced it would open two factories expected to employ 3,000 people. The other 7,000 positions the project is slated to create are temporary construction jobs. It is also planning a chip foundry business that makes chips designed by other firms. Construction is expected to start this year. Intel has raised the possibility of constructing up to six more factories over the next decade, which could bring the total number of factory workers up to 10,000. But that is only a prospect, years away. ___,BIDEN: The pandemic also disrupted the global supply chain ... Look at cars last year. One third of all the inflation was because of automobile sales. There weren't enough semiconductors to make all the cars that people wanted to buy. And guess what? Prices of automobiles went way up ... And so we have a choice. One way to fight inflation is to drag down wages and make Americans poorer. I think I have a better idea to fight inflation. Lower your costs and not your wages. Folks, that means make more cars and semi conductors in America. More infrastructure and innovation in America. More goods moving faster and cheaper in America ... Instead of relying on foreign supply chains let's make it in America. THE FACTS: It's dubious to suggest that more domestic manufacturing means less inflation. ,Manufactured products made overseas, particularly in countries such as China or Mexico where wages are lower, are generally cheaper than U.S.-made goods. ,Biden also places too much weight on supply chain disruptions from overseas as a factor in the worst inflation in four decades. Although those problems indeed have been a major factor in driving up costs, inflation is increasingly showing up in other areas, such as rents and restaurant meals, that reflect the rapid growth of the economy and wages in the past year and not a global supply bottleneck. Those trends are likely to keep pushing up prices even as supply chains recover. ___,INFRASTRUCTURE LAW,BIDEN on the infrastructure bill: The single biggest investment in history was a bipartisan effort. THE FACTS: No, it wasn't that historic. ,Biden's infrastructure bill was big, adding $550 billion in fresh spending on roads, bridges, and broadband Internet over five years. But measured as a proportion of the U.S. economy, it is slightly below the 1.36% of the nation's gross domestic product that was spent on infrastructure, on average, during the first four years of the New Deal, according to an analysis by the Brookings Institution. It is even further below the roughly 2% spent on infrastructure in the late 1970s and early 1980s. ,___,REPUBLICAN RESPONSE,IOWA GOV. KIM REYNOLDS, criticizing the Biden administration's handling of immigration and boasting about Republican governors' attention to the issue: We've actually gone to the border — something that our president and vice president have yet to do since taking office. THE FACTS: Not true. Vice President Kamala Harris visited the border last year. Biden hasn't gone yet. Harris toured a Customs and Border Protection processing center in El Paso, Texas, and met migrant children there. She also stopped by an intake center on the border and held a discussion with local community organizations. The half-day trip in June came after months of criticism from Republicans and some in her own party over her absence and that of Biden from the border at a time when immigration officers have logged record numbers of encounters with migrants attempting to cross into the U.S.

Joe Biden's first State of the Union address after taking over the White House last year revolved around multiple key issues, including healthcare, economy, COVID-19, climate change and immigration. However, the ongoing crisis in Ukraine took the centre stage. Biden kept aside a few minutes from his address to specifically talk about Russia's aggression in Ukraine and demonstrated United States' support for Volodymyr Zelensky's government. Meanwhile, this year's State of the Union marked the first time in US history when two women (Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi) were standing behind the President's podium as the speech was being delivered.

Joe Biden's State of the Union address began with an emotional moment for the Ukrainian ambassador to America as applause broke out in the chambers of the US Capitol on Tuesday, in support of the government of Ukraine. Oksana Markarova, the Ukrainian ambassador was seen sitting right next to US First Lady Jill Biden, wearing a Blue and Yellow ribbon on her coat and waving Ukraine's national flag. She is bright, she is strong, she is resolved, the President said while introducing the diplomat to the United States Congress. Yes. We the United States of America stand with the Ukrainian people, he added. Also Read: SOTU: Lawmakers wear blue and yellow ribbons in show of support to Ukraine,In a show of support for Ukraine, Biden urged all present lawmakers in the Capitol complex to send an unmistakable signal to the world, to Ukraine. Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker of House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi were standing behind the podium, joining the Congress members in a round of applause. Soon after introducing Oksana Markarova, Biden announced that the United States will be banning Russian flights from entering the American airspace as Ukraine continues to fight. Biden highlighted the bravery of Ukrainian defenders and the commitment of a newly reinvigorated Western alliance that has worked to rearm the Ukrainian military and cripple Russia’s economy through sanctions. He warned of costs to the American economy, as well, but warned ominously that without consequences, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression would not be contained to Ukraine, according to reports from Associated Press. “Throughout our history, we have learned this lesson – when dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos,” Biden said. “They keep moving. And, the costs and threats to America and the world keep rising.”

President Joe Biden's address to Congress during the State of the Union on Tuesday broke a major glass ceiling as it marked the first time two women were sitting behind the United States President during the address. ,Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cheered on Joe Biden as he announced measures against Russia, including banning American airspace for Russian aircraft, as well as plans to boost a fraught economy and tackle the COVID-19. ,Biden's first address to Congress last year marked the first time two women were sitting behind the President at the dias of the House Chamber, but today marks the first time Pelosi and Harris are flanking Biden during the official SOTU address. ,Also Read | SOTU 2022: Biden hails ‘bright, strong, resolved’ Ukraine ambassador | Watch,During his address last year, Biden underscored the advancement of American women in recent years. Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President, Biden said, adding, No President has ever said those words from this podium, no president has ever said those words.

SOTU: Lawmakers wear blue and yellow ribbons in show of support to Ukraine

United States President Joe Biden, at his first State of the Union address on Tuesday, announced that Russian flights would not be permitted to enter American airspace. The move would further isolate Russia as it invades Ukraine, Biden said. Tonight I am announcing that we will join our allies in closing off American air space to all Russian flights, further isolating Russia and adding additional squeeze on their economy Biden said on Tuesday from the legislative chambers of the United States Capitol. ,WIth the new announcement, United States joins the European Union and Canada in banning Russian flights from its airspace in the last week. Before European Union announced a unanimous ban, countries like Italy, Germany and France had already announced the measure. While extending his support to the Ukrainian government and warning Russian leader Vladimir Putin at the same time, Biden said, The US and our allies will defend every inch of NATO territory with full force of our collective power. Ukrainians are fighting back with pure courage. Putin may gain makes gains on the battlefield but he'll have to continue to pay a high price over the long run. Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker of House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi were seen standing behind the podium, applauding the new announcement. The chambers of the Capitol also echoed with hooting from the lawmakers. A flurry of lawmakers were seen wearing blue and yellow ribbons pinned to their chests in an attempt to show solidarity with Ukraine. Others held Ukrainian flags too.

US President Joe Biden bans Russian flights from American airspace

France

Canada

Germany

President Joe Biden sat through many State of the Union speeches as a senator and vice president. On Tuesday night, he’ll deliver the address himself. Also read: Ukraine President Zelensky in contact with US via secure satellite phone,But it comes at a challenging time for Biden, who is weighed down by public disapproval of his handling of the economy and the pandemic. The address also comes days after Russia opened war against Ukraine, despite U.S.-led efforts to prevent military conflict. And it follows Biden's announcement last week of his candidate for an opening on the Supreme Court. WHERE DO I WATCH OR LISTEN?,The speech is set for 9 p.m. EST and will be broadcast by the major networks and cable news TV channels. The White House plans to stream it at WH.gov/live, as well as on its YouTube, Facebook and Twitter pages. Live coverage will also be provided by C-SPAN, C-SPAN Radio and C-SPAN.org. NPR is streaming the speech on its website, npr.org, and on its app, in addition to offering live coverage to its member radio stations. Also read: Russian troops in Ukraine surrendering without fight: US official,It's one of the largest audiences Biden will command this year. An estimated 26.9 million people across 16 television networks watched his address to a joint session of Congress last year, which was not a State of the Union speech. That was the smallest audience for the yearly presidential speech since at least 1993. HOW WILL BIDEN DESCRIBE THE STATE OF THE UNION?,The White House wouldn't tell in advance. But whether times are good or bad, presidents generally have been consistent in opening these speeches by declaring that “the state of our union is strong ” or words very much like it. Barbara Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, thinks Biden should go further and acknowledge at the outset that people are feeling pinched by rising prices for everyday staples like food and gas. Say the state of the union is strong and say why he thinks that,” Perry said, “but then admit that people are feeling pain and say what he's doing to try and correct that.”,Also read: Russian nuclear subs, land-based missiles hold drills amid Ukraine assault,WHAT WILL BIDEN TALK ABOUT?,Biden will “absolutely use the word inflation” and talk about his plans for reducing costs, said White House press secretary Jen Psaki. He'll also call on Congress to act on his now-stalled proposals for lowering the cost of child care, elder care and prescription drugs, she said. Biden will explain the U.S. role in Russia's war against Ukraine, including rallying the West to support the Ukrainian people, who want to remain independent, Psaki said. Just 26% of those surveyed in a recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll said the U.S. should have a major role in the conflict. Biden can also be expected to discuss Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, his nominee for an upcoming opening on the Supreme Court. WILL THINGS LOOK DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC?,Mask-wearing will be optional for those attending the address. That's thanks to updated mask guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week due to a sharp drop in cases, hospitalizations and deaths caused by the omicron strain of the coronavirus. Biden will not wear a mask, Psaki said Tuesday. Face coverings were required last year when he addressed Congress. All members of Congress were invited to attend. Attendance was limited last year and guests were banned to allow for social distancing. Guests also will not be allowed Tuesday. COVID-19 tests and social distancing measures will still be required of attendees. At least a half dozen lawmakers, including Reps. Jamie Raskin, D-Md. and Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif. both members of the committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot, and Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif. were not expected for the speech after they reported positive COVID-19 tests. Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, said he would skip the speech rather than participate in what he called COVID “theater.” “I’m just not taking any more COVID tests unless I’m sick,” he said. ARE THERE SECURITY CONCERNS?,While there aren’t any specific or credible threats related to the speech, law enforcement officials aren’t taking any chances and have again put up fencing around the U.S. Capitol. Police cars with flashing lights are stationed at major intersections and highways and the National Guard is on standby. No one wants a repeat of the events of Jan. 6, 2021, when a violent mob stormed the building and interrupted the certification of Biden’s 2020 presidential victory. HOW WILL REPUBLICANS RESPOND?,Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has the assignment. Reynolds is the first woman elected governor of that state. She also was the first governor to require schools to reopen for full-time, in-person learning. Republican leaders portray GOP-led states as doing a better job on the pandemic than the federal government, which is led by Democrats. Reynolds pushed back against mask and vaccine mandates, and spoke skeptically about the effectiveness of masks to slow the spread of the virus. Separately, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. will deliver the Working Families Party response, the party announced. Tlaib will offer support for Biden's agenda, urge Democrats to pass policies that meet people's needs and rally progressives to build strong majorities in the midterm elections. WHAT ABOUT THE FIRST LADY?,Jill Biden will take her customary seat in the gallery overlooking the House chamber with a group of in-person guests that includes Oksana Markarova, Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S.; Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen; and Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger. WHAT IS BIDEN'S HISTORY WITH THE STATE OF THE UNION?,Biden was a U.S. senator for 36 years and sat in the audience for many State of the Union addresses. After becoming vice president in 2009, Biden sat at the rostrum, with the House speaker, for President Barack Obama's State of the Union addresses.
