US Vice President Kamala Harris has broken out laughing after being asked about Washington’s plans to help Ukrainian refugees.
Harris was fielding questions regarding the Ukraine crisis alongside Polish President Andrzej Duda on Thursday in Warsaw when the incident took place.
A reporter asked Harris whether the US was “willing to make a specific allocation for Ukrainian refugees” and then turned to Duda, asking the Polish President if he had requested that Washington accept more refugees.
Neither of the two politicians apparently wanted to take the floor first, with Duda and Harris looking at each other in silence for a brief moment, apparently nudging each other to respond. At one point, the vice president smiled as she turned back toward Duda, joking, “A friend in need is a friend indeed,” then burst out laughing, inviting the Polish leader to speak.
