Biden insists, 'Putin is a butcher' - Breaking news. Joe Biden returns to calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a "butcher" during a rally held yesterday in North Carolina.
On March 26, 2022, Biden had already called Putin a 'butcher' during a meeting with Ukrainian refugees in Warsaw. The US president said that the $400 billion in additional revenue linked to a tax increase to 25% could be used to "drastically reduce the federal deficit" and protect Ukraine.
