When White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked on Friday whether she could confirm any details about the vice president’s trip, she said, “Not yet, but certainly the vice president has been deeply engaged.”
“She’s obviously already made a trip to Europe. I expect there’ll be more soon but I don’t have anything to report out to you at this particular moment,” Psaki added.
Since the invasion began, Russia’s military has launched more than 500 missiles, a senior US defense official said Friday.
A White House statement following Tuesday’s calls said that in each of her conversations, “the Vice President underscored the strength and unity of our Alliance and welcomed each of her counterparts’ leadership and coordination on robust response measures, including sanctions and other economic measures through the European Union. They also discussed the robust NATO response.”
Harris also reiterated the US’ support for Ukraine and “reaffirmed US support for the international rules and norms that have brought peace and security in Europe since World War II and that have served as the foundation of the NATO Alliance.”
This story and headline have been updated with further developments Friday.
