Blinken: US will respond to reckless Russian actsThe US secretary of state has told the BBC that the US will respond to reckless or aggressive acts by Russia.

Antony Blinken said the US was focused on actions such as the treatment of opposition figure Alexei Navalny, the Solar Winds hack and election interference.

"We would prefer a more stable and predictable relationship," he said.

Mr Blinken was in the UK for a meeting of foreign ministers of the G7 group of industrialised nations.

Back in February US President Joe Biden said, in more headline-grabbing terms, that he had made it clear to President Vladimir Putin "that the days of the United States rolling over in the face of Russia's aggressive actions… are over."

His predecessor Donald Trump had at times seemed to avoid criticising the Russian leader.
