‘Let him go’: Biden to Russia on detained American journalist

Hindustan Times  

President Joe Biden on Friday urged Russia to release Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich after the country's security service arrested him on espionage charges — allegations that the newspaper denies. “Let him go,” Biden told reporters at the White House on Friday morning when asked about his message to Russia on the arrest of Gershkovich. Speaking at a news conference in Lusaka, Zambia, Vice President Kamala Harris added that the administration was “deeply concerned” about Gershkovich's arrest. Asked Friday morning whether he would expel Russian diplomats or journalists in the U.S., Biden responded: “That's not the plan right now.” Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, called the targeting of U.S. citizens in Russia “unacceptable” and that the administration condemns the detention of Gershkovich "in the strongest terms.” The Biden administration has also warned U.S. citizens not to travel to Russia, and for Americans in the country now to depart immediately.
