President Biden demanded Friday that Russia release Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich after he was arrested this week on spying charges.

“Let him go,” Biden told reporters when asked if he had a message to Moscow about Gershkovich, before adding vaguely that “we’re in the process.”

When asked if he was going to retaliate for the reporter’s detention by expelling Russian diplomats or journalists from the US, the 80-year-old commander-in-chief replied: “That’s not the plan right now.”

Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris told reporters at a news conference in Zambia that the administration was “deeply concerned” about Gershkovich’s arrest.

“We will not tolerate — and condemn, in fact — repression of journalists,” Harris said.

He "demands"? It seemed like he barely knew what was going on. At least he didn't fall going up the stairs this time.

He was caught near a major military installation. A long way from any financial centre, yet he was 'supposed' to be a financial journalist. He is very clearly a spy & deserves 20 years in prison

You must have forgot what you have done to Meng Wanzhou? Why didn't you let her go?

Total embarrassment to this great country. It will be interesting when staff members start writing their books to find out the group really running the country
