White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is being asked to provide “tips” so reporters can know if President Joe Biden is expressing a change in U.S. policy — or just sharing his reaction to something.
During a press briefing on Wednesday, a reporter asked, “Can you tell us when should we interpret words as his reaction versus U.S. policy?”
“He’s the President of the United States. He speaks for the United States,” Psaki responded.
However, the reporter pressed, “Are there any tips that you could provide? Or any sort of giveaways that this is the president talking about what he’s seeing and his reaction as a human versus, you know, the United State government is now going to do XYZ?”
Psaki said, “He is the president. He speaks for what our policy is. And I would take his words for exactly what they are.”

The exchange comes after Biden accused Russia of committing genocide in Ukraine, as IJR reported.
“I called it genocide because it has become clear that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being able to be a Ukrainian,” he told reporters.
