Asked during a news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the G7 summit in Italy if a commutation was on the table, Biden said, "No."
Biden also spoke briefly about his son's situation in response to another question, and reiterated that he won't pardon him.
"I‘m extremely proud of my son Hunter," Biden said. "He has overcome an addiction. He’s one of the brightest, most decent men I know, and I am satisfied that I’m not going to do anything. I said I abide by the jury decision. I will do that, and I will not pardon him."
