WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said the U.S. has gamed out responses if Russian President Vladimir Putin uses a nuclear weapon in Ukraine.
“The Pentagon didn’t have to be asked,” Biden said in an interview Tuesday with CNN, in response to a question about whether he’d directed the Defense Department to come up with contingencies.
The president declined to elaborate on the discussions, saying it would be irresponsible “to talk about what we would or wouldn’t do.”
