President Biden announced actions he was taking against Russia, including economic sanctions and the expulsion of several Russian officials, in response to the country’s interference in U.S. elections and involvement in cyberattacks - most notably the SolarWinds hack that targeted U.S. government agencies and corporations. “I was clear with President Putin that we could have gone further but I chose not to do so,” he said. “I chose to be proportionate. The United States is not looking to kick off a cycle of escalation and conflict with Russia. We want a stable, predicable relationship. If Russia continues to interfere with our democracy, I’m prepared to take further actions to respond.” President Biden said there were areas in which the U.S. and Russia could cooperate and that his team was working on setting up a summit between the two leaders that could take place in Europe over the summer. close
