Americans Told to Leave Ukraine as US Warns Russia Could Invade ‘at Any Time'
Asked whether there were any scenarios that would prompt him to send U.S. troops to Ukraine to rescue Americans, the president said: “There’s not. That’s a world war when Americans and Russia start shooting at one another.”
The four nations form the “Quad,” a bloc of Indo-Pacific democracies created to counter China’s growing regional influence. Asked by a reporter if Russia had behaved appropriately toward Ukraine, Jaishankar replied that the Quad meeting was focused on the Indo-Pacific region, not Europe.“We share concerns that in recent years China has been acting more aggressively at home and more aggressively in the region and indeed potentially beyond,” Blinken said.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian dismissed Quad concerns about Beijing’s expanding influence among Pacific island nations. Australia has suffered trade retaliation in recent years for angering Beijing over actions that include outlawing covert foreign interference in domestic politics, banning Chinese tech giant Huawei from major infrastructure projects and urging an independent investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
