The White House shut down Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invitation to President Joe Biden for a live chat, which came after the president agreed with the assertion that Putin was a “killer” in an earlier interview.

“We are confident that we can continue to look for ways where there’s a mutual interest–mutual national interest,​”​ White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at the White House on Thursday. ​”​But the president is not going to hold back, clearly, when he has concerns, whether it is with words or actions.”
