The Biden administration is going to take a different approach in its relationship with Russia compared to the former Donald Trump government, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.
"We are going to be straightforward, and we are going to be direct, in areas where we have concerns," Psaki said at her daily news conference.
Her remarks came hours after Russia recalled its US ambassador following comments made by Biden that were critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Besides areas of concern, Psaki said both nations have areas where they can work together, citing the New Start nuclear treaty as an example.
"But our relationship will look different. We will be direct, we will speak out on areas where we have concerns," Anadolu agency cited her as saying.
