WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden "did not hold back" in his phone call this week with Russian President Vladimir Putin, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Thursday.

Biden brought up Russia's treatment of jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny and other difficult issues in the phone call.

"He did not hold back in conveying his concern about the treatment of Alexei Navlany and his treatment of protesters," Psaki told reporters. She said Biden “had never held back as it relates to President Putin or his concerns about the actions of the Russian government and he certainly conveyed that clearly in the call.”

Man who needed 30,000 soldiers for inauguration to office tells Putin off. I bet he was scared him straight, saying stuff like 'cut that out'. world peace and Russian submission is imminent. President McGoo FTW!
well, nobody is as strong and tough as Trump when he stood next to Putin and looked straight into the camera and told everyone Russia did nothing to meddle US election....and then claim he mis-spoke, but only after Putin left
Trump did it way better
stop Parroting the official talking points you sick f∆ks
All uneducated trump supports just parrot whatever trump says.
Doesn't matter what he said, the only thing that matters is if he was taken seriously.  Many politicians are good speakers but are poor on follow through, and that doesn't do much except fool their supporters.
And trump was the best at fooling his supporters.
You mean like an actual President?
You sheep lack the intelligence to vote. You just believe anything a media that works as propaganda for a single political party tells you.
