It was about British Storm Shadow missiles.
US President Joe Biden rejected the threats of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who threatened NATO with war if the allies allowed long-range strikes against Ukraine on targets in Russia. The American leader said that he was not thinking about it.
Joe Biden has dismissed the sabre-rattling threats made by Vladimir Putin as the US president met the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, at the White House, The Guardian writes. The summit took place at the White House on Friday, September 13.
Biden said in particular he did not accept that Ukraine using western-made Storm Shadow missiles to bomb targets in Russia would amount to Nato going to war with Moscow.
At a foreign policy summit, Biden said: “I do not think much about Vladimir Putin.”
After the summit, Starmer said the meeting was not about a particular decision on Storm Shadow.
“Well, we’ve had a long and productive discussion on a number of problems, including Ukraine, as you’d expect, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific, talking strategically about tactical decisions,” he said.
However, Biden indicated the topic came under discussion between the leaders and their teams. In response to a shouted question asking how soon he was prepared to let Ukraine fire missiles deeper into Russia, Biden said: “We’re going to discuss that now.”
The British Storm Shadow missiles, made by a European company, can strike targets at least 190 miles away and Ukraine wants to use them to bomb airbases, missile sites and other military targets in the Russian heartlands, The Guardian reminds.
