Excerpts: Biden to say Putin miscalculated
5:47 p.m.
President Biden will champion U.S. diplomacy and say that Russian President Vladimir Putin miscalculated by assuming the West and NATO would not respond in concert if he invaded Ukraine, according to excerpts of his prepared remarks.
“Putin was wrong. We were ready,” Biden plans to say in the address to Congress, which will touch on Russia’s attack on Ukraine and also domestic issues.
Biden will also lay out a plan to address inflation that hinges on making more goods in America to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
