President Joe Biden on Monday said that Americans should not fear the prospect of a nuclear war with Russia as White House officials indicated that the United States hasn’t changed the status of its nuclear forces.

The comments come after Russian President Vladimir Putin said Sunday that he would ready his country’s strategic defense forces, which oversee some of Russia’s nuclear arsenal.
