Biden says chemical attack on Ukraine would spur ‘response in kind’
US President Joe Biden says a chemical weapon attack on Ukraine would “trigger a response in kind” by NATO, but does not offer details.
Speaking to journalists at a press conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels, he says a decision on what that response would look like would not be made until such an attack occurs, if it does.
“You’re asking if NATO would cross… we’ll make that decision at the time,” he says.
He says NATO has “never been more united” after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, though Putin was banking on a divided alliance.
