Biden Jokes About Russia's Wagner Chief Being Poisoned: "If I Were He, I'd Be Careful What I Ate"
- 10 months ago
U.S. President Joe Biden made a jest about the poisoning of Wagner Group’s chief after Yevgeny Prigozhin's recent rift with Russia's top leadership.
Biden, at a press conference on Thursday in Helsinki, said, "If I were he I'd be careful what I ate," Bloomberg reported.
"I would keep an eye on my menu."
Biden’s comments followed recent events involving Prigozhin, who led an attempted revolt against Moscow and later met with Putin. However, Prigozhin later ordered his private army to halt its advance, following an agreement with Russia to drop charges against him.
