Towards the end of last month, President Biden journeyed to Europe for a gathering with different NATO leaders. This meeting arrived as Russia's warfare against Ukraine has carried on for longer than four weeks.

However, during Biden's time in Europe, he made a series of troubling foreign policy comments that his White House quickly had to step back.

This poses real problems, seeing as the remarks from the US president have the weight to impact the decisions of US allies and US enemies alike.

One of Biden's most controversial remarks of all involved the appeal for regime change in Russia. This is something that Vice President Kamala Harris has since walked back.

Harris on regime change in Russia

During an MSNBC interview on Friday, Biden's call for regime change in Russia came up yet again.

To this end, the vice president stated that despite Biden's claims, Russian regime change is not the policy of the White House. Harris then went on to state that the Russian government has to endure "real costs" for the war it waged against Ukraine.

The vice president later cited "severe sanctions" as the "real costs" Russia must endure. Yet, even the matter of sanctions hasn't been without its issues.

During Biden's latest visit to Europe, he declared that sanctions weren't meant to thwart Russia from waging warfare on Ukraine.

Nevertheless, before Russia hit Ukraine, Harris, along with other members of the Biden administration, said deterrence did serve as the purpose of sanctions.

Foreign policy chaos

When it comes to foreign policy, the Biden administration has been all over the place. Between open disagreements on sanctions, regime change, and more, it's clear the White House is not altogether on the same page.

This is troubling at a time when a war remains ongoing with no apparent end in sight. Meanwhile, this war has spiraled to a point where the US president is telling people that food shortages are on their way to America.

If there was ever a time in which the White House needed to be on the same page about foreign policy matters, that time would be now.
