(Alexei Druzhinin, Sputnik, Kremlin Pool Photo via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 2:55 PM PT \u2013 Friday, March 19, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>The White House said Joe Biden doesn\u2019t intend to hold a live virtual discussion with Russia\u2019s leader. During a press briefing Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki avoided questions about President Vladimir Putin\u2019s offer to debate Biden as early as Friday, after he called the Russian leader a killer.<\/p>\n<p>Psaki said she had nothing to report when asked if Biden would accept the virtual invite. Reporters questioned if Biden stood by his comments from a recent interview, saying it seemed to be a strange way to foster friendly relations and de-escalate tensions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t want to escalate tensions?\u201d a reporter asked. \u201cHow is that constructive to the relationship when you talk about diplomacy being primary between the U.S. and Russia? How is calling Vladimir Putin a killer constructive to that relationship?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Joe] Biden has known President Putin for a long time,\u201d Psaki claimed. \u201cThey\u2019ve both been on the global stage for a long time, worked through many iterations of a relationship between the United States and Russia, and he believes we can continue to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Psaki said Biden gave a direct answer to a direct question. Though Russia recalled its ambassador over Biden\u2019s comment, Putin said the Kremlin was willing to hold talks with the U.S. to build a diplomatic relationship. In response to Biden\u2019s killer comment, Putin offered a jovial retort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd you know I remember in my childhood, when we argued in the courtyard we used to say: It takes one to know one,\u201d the Russian leader said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s not a coincidence, not just a children\u2019s saying or joke. It has deep psychological meaning. We always see our own traits in other people and think they are like how we really are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before boarding Air Force One Friday, Biden said he was sure he will speak with Putin sometime soon.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/white-house-press-secy-clarifies-bidens-statement-on-mask-wearing\/\">White House Press Secy Clarifies Biden\u2019s Statement On Mask Wearing<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks to the media after attending a concert marking the seventh anniversary of the referendum on the state status of Crimea and Sevastopol and its reunification &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2275741,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-257939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2275741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
