Why is Russia,” the president said at a fundraiser to mark the start of Asian American, Hawaiian and Hawaiian Culture Month. of the Pacific Islands.
“Because they are xenophobic, they don’t want immigrants”, added Biden, underlining that instead the US economy grows “because we welcome migrants. Last month, Biden hosted Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for a state visit during which they were agreements signed to strengthen security arrangements.
