U.S. President Joe Biden holds his first press conference since taking office at the White House on March 25, 2021.
On Thursday (25), U.S. President Joe Biden held his first official press conference since taking office. In this long-awaited appearance, Biden’s style was markedly different from that of other presidents, especially when he answered diplomatic questions in a “question-and-answer” manner, which became the focus of public attention.
Biden first spoke on the Chinese Communist virus (COVID-19) vaccine, getting kids back to school and the number of unemployed Americans.
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace made a point of noting that Biden relied on his “White House talking points” on every issue related to foreign policy.
“I have to say that I was also struck by the fact that it seemed that on every foreign policy issue – not other issues, but on foreign policy – he turned to his briefing book, as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki sometimes does in her briefings. clearly reading the White House talking points guide.” Wallace said he has seen many press briefings over the years and has never seen a president read talking points at a press conference, which Biden seems to do on every foreign policy issue.
Ari Fleischer, the White House press secretary during the Bush administration, also tweeted about Biden’s documents, saying he had never seen a president hold a news conference with something like this.
It was Biden’s first press conference since taking office, and surprisingly only 25 reporters were allowed to attend, and Biden only relied on access to records to name 10 reporters to ask questions before rushing to end the Q&A.
