US President Joe Biden said Friday that he is not alarmed after high-profile meetings earlier this week between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Instead, Biden said that \u201cwe are the ones who broaden alliances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLook, I don’t take China lightly. I don’t take Russia lightly, but I think we grossly exaggerated it,” Biden told reporters during a news conference in Ottawa, Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president noted that while US officials recently warned of signs that China might consider increasing its military support for Russia, “they haven’t done so yet.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt doesn’t mean they won’t, but they haven’t yet,\u201d Biden said. “And if something happens, the West has become significantly more allied.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biden went on to cite increased cooperation between alliances, including through the G7, Quad Alliance, ASEAN, and AUKUS. He added that so far he has met with 80% of world leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, I just want to put it in perspective, I don’t take it lightly\u2026 what China and Russia are doing, and it could get significantly worse,\u201d Biden said. But let’s put it in perspective. We are united coalitions: us, the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
