Biden says NATO has never been more united than it is today
President Joe Biden spoke to reporters Thursday, hours after a NATO emergency summit, saying that Russia's President Vladimir Putin "was banking on NATO being split," but NATO has never been more united than it is today.
"My early conversation with him in December and early January, it was clear to me he didn't think we could sustain this cohesion. NATO has never, never been more united than it is today. Putin is getting exactly the opposite of what he intended to have as a consequence of going into Ukraine," Biden said.

Biden has warned Russia may use chemical weapons in Ukraine and said that the U.S. and NATO would respond if they are used. Biden said the response would depend on the nature of the use of the weapons.
When asked whether this means they could cross the border into Ukraine, Biden said this is a decision they would make at the time.
The president said that he believes Russia should be removed from the G-20, but he raised the possibility that if removing Russia can’t be done because of "Indonesia and others" not in agreement, Ukraine should be able to attend future G-20 meetings.
Biden also spoke about the 100,000 Ukrainian refugees the U.S. will accept, with the caveat that they will be accepted "with a focus on reuniting families."
