President Joe Biden outlined Monday how the United States and Germany are “united” in countering Russia economically and, if necessary, militarily if Ukraine is invaded.

Biden, speaking alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz after a bilateral meeting at the White House, told reporters a Russian invasion of Ukraine would be best solved through “diplomatic resolutions,” adding that he and Scholz agree that doesn’t mean “business as usual.”
