The US President has made a series of unscripted remarks this week, souring US-Russia relations.
Over the past week, US President Joe Biden has made a series of unscripted remarks that have upped the temperature of US-Russia relations to near boiling point.
He pledged that Nato would defend "every inch" of its member states' soil. He also promised continued support to Ukraine, although he noted that the US military would not engage with Russian forces there. The speed with which the US issued its "clarification" - later echoed by Mr Blinken - suggests the US understands the danger inherent in Mr Biden's words.Watch: Joe Biden closes speech in Poland by saying Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power"
"Regime change" is something powerful countries are accused of imposing on weaker ones - not what one nuclear-armed nation demands of another.French President Emmanuel Macron warned that the US president was putting ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in jeopardy. "My gosh, I wish they would keep him on script," he said. "Any time you say or even, as he did, suggest that the policy was regime change, it's going to cause a huge problem. This administration has done everything they can to stop escalating. There's not a whole lot more you can do to escalate than to call for regime change."Mr Biden has a well-known propensity for making off-the-cuff remarks that can land him in difficult situations.
