Biden Warned China If It Provides Weapons to Russia

In a video call Friday morning that lasted nearly two hours, President Biden “described the implications and consequences if China provides material support to Russia as it conducts brutal attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians,” the Washington Post reports.

“The call was part of an urgent U.S. effort to head off any Chinese moves to provide economic or military help to Russia as America and its allies try to shut down Moscow’s financial lifelines.”

“There was little indication, however, that Xi was receptive to Biden’s entreaties that his country not come to Russia’s aid.”
