#shorts On 3/16/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “I just want to follow up on the video that was released of the drone. Given that it clearly refuted the initial accounts that were offered by the Russians about what happened, is there a broader impact on U.S.-Russia relations? In other words, has it made an already incredibly tense relationship worse?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Do you mean is it going to lead to escalation?

Reporter: Yes.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Well, look, a couple of things there. And we’ve been clear, the Pentagon has been clear, my colleagues at NSC has been clear as well: The actions by Russian pilots in international airspace were reckless and dangerous. We have raised those concerns directly with Russian leadership. And we will continue to exercise our rights in international airspace.
