Psaki tight-lipped on White House preparations for Russian nuclear attack

Written by Christian Datoc, White House correspondent for The Washington Examiner

White House press secretary Jen Psaki provided no details Monday when asked what the United States is doing in terms of stockpiling iodine pills and other “protective gear” as Russia’s threat of a nuclear attack looms amid the war in Ukraine.

Reports surfaced over the weekend that the European Union is stockpiling potassium iodine tablets, protective suits, and other medicines as the U.S. and other Western nations have warned the global stage to be on the lookout for Russian chemical and nuclear attacks.
