Biden Says Americans Shouldn’t Be Worried About Nuclear War

President Biden offered a curt response when asked Monday whether Americans should be worried about the possibility of nuclear war breaking out with Russia: "No."

Biden was attending a White House celebration of Black History Month when he was asked by CBS News reporter Nancy Cordes about the threat, given Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement the day before that he had placed his country's nuclear forces on a state of "special combat readiness."
