At the time, Biden sparked confusion when he began to describe the scene in Ukraine, telling U.S. troops they\u2019d \u201csee when you\u2019re there [in Ukraine].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A White House spokesperson soon clarified the president\u2019s remarks, noting that Biden\u2019s \u201cbeen clear we are not sending U.S. troops to Ukraine and there is no change in that position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When pressed on his gaffe during a brief press conference Monday, the president said he was referring to \u201chelping train the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland.\u201d This sparked further confusion, as National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said March 22 that Americans were not \u201ccurrently\u201d training Ukrainians, Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/03\/28\/u-s-training-ukrainian-troops-poland-biden-00021123\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was referring to being with, and talking with, the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland,\u201d Biden added later in the press conference.<\/p>\n<p>Bedingfield said Tuesday that Biden\u2019s comment \u201cis in no way revealing compromised information,\u201d describing the troops he met in Poland as \u201croutinely\u201d interacting \u201cwith Ukrainians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat being said, there\u2019s nothing further that I have to say on that beyond what the president said yesterday,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Bedingfield appeared to dodge when pressed further on whether Biden\u2019s comment was a misspeak or an accidental revelation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre they training in Poland or not?\u201d one reporter asked.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWell, as I said, there is regular interaction between Ukrainian soldiers in Poland and the US troops that the president saw on the trip,\u201d Bedingfield said, declining to directly answer the question. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing, no further detail that I can add on that, except to say that there is regular interaction. As you saw, we were there near the border, and there\u2019s regular interaction between those troops that he saw and Ukrainians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s fleeting comment about \u201chelping train\u201d Ukrainian troops is just the latest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/24\/joe-biden-us-nato-would-respond-russia-chemical-weapons-ukraine\/\">slew<\/a> of remarks the administration has had to <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/26\/joe-biden-vladimir-putin-cannot-remain-in-power\/\">clarify<\/a>. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/24\/joe-biden-administration-welcome-100000-refugees-ukraine\/\">(RELATED:\u00a0Biden Admin Will Welcome Up To 100,000 Refugees Fleeing Russian Aggression In Ukraine)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One notable <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/28\/joe-biden-no-regret-vladimir-putin-cannot-remain-in-power-comment\/\">example<\/a> came after Biden, speaking in Poland at the end of his trip, declared that Russian President Vladimir Putin \u201ccannot remain in power.\u201d A White House official quickly said the president \u201cwas not discussing Putin\u2019s power in Russia, or regime change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The official also said Biden\u2019s \u201cpoint was that Putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region.\u201d The president then <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/27\/joe-biden-says-he-wasnt-calling-regime-change-russia\/\">said<\/a> Sunday that \u201cno,\u201d he was not calling for regime change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was expressing my outrage,\u201d Biden then told reporters Monday. \u201cHe shouldn\u2019t remain in power, just like bad people shouldn\u2019t continue to do bad things.
