NEW: Biden said that he would support Russia being expelled from the G20 over its invasion of Ukraine, further isolating Vladimir Putin on the international stage.
The G7 and EU also agreed on a new initiative to tighten sanctions enforcement, as well as cooperation on supporting third countries harmed by sanctions and disruptions to food and energy security.Biden said NATO "would respond" if Russia used chemical, biological or nuclear weapons inside Ukraine, and that "the nature of the response would depend on the nature of the use."
Pressed further on whether NATO would respond militarily, Biden said "we'd make that decision at the time."Biden said he made clear in his phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week that he would be putting himself in "significant jeopardy" if Beijing supported Russia militarily or with sanctions evasion.
He added that he believes China "understands its economic future is much more closely tied to the West than it is to Russia."Biden warned that there is a real risk of global food shortages given Russia and Ukraine's role as the "bread basket of Europe," and that the G7 and EU discussed ways to lift restrictions and other measures to alleviate those concerns.Biden said it's "not an illogical question" for Europeans and other U.S.
"One of the things that I take some solace from is I don't think you'll find any European leader who thinks that I am not up to the job," Biden said.
