President Joe Biden warned on Friday Chinese President Xi Jinping of the ‘consequences’ Beijing would face if it provides support to Russia during its invasion of the Ukraine.
In the nearly two-hour video call between the two leaders, Biden ‘described the implications and consequences if China provides material support to Russia as it conducts brutal attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians,’ the White House said in a readout of the conversation.
Biden spoke to his Chinese counterpart from the Situation Room in the White House, where he outlined the efforts of the United States and it allies to respond to the invasion, including the financial sanctions imposed on Russia.

Biden looks like he has cerebral palsy. He cannot hold his head up straight.
So Joe called Xi for two hours. There was a call for two hours but Joe said very little. Blinken and other did most of the talking for the Americans. Biden was good too. He did not have boo boo.
After a tough day Joe immediately packed up for Delaware. Think about that. After a two hours talking to the first, second, or third most powerful person in the world and having disagreements over a large war that could go nuclear, Joe did not stay to discuss options for 2 to 4 hours afterwards. No, it was off to Delaware.
Ice cream TIME!
LOL. Biden needs Russia for the Iran deal so China is going to ignore Biden's empty threat.
