The White House on Monday emphasized that President Joe Biden was uniting Europe against Russian President Vladimir Putin behind the scenes.
“He is somebody who has been leading this effort behind the scenes for months,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing when asked about the president’s low public profile over the weekend even as Putin escalated his invasion into Ukraine.
But Psaki argued that Biden had been preparing European allies for the invasion for weeks prior to the actual invasion.
“We would not be here had the president not been leading this effort around the world for months,” she said.
