President Joe Biden sought to defend his economic legacy, justify the impact of new sanctions on Russia, and criticised social media companies peeling back fact-checking initiatives in a rare press conference on Friday (Saturday AEDT) at the White House.
Biden’s exchange with reporters came ahead of the final full week of his term, where the president is set to deliver a prime-time farewell speech on Wednesday from the White House and visit the State Department for an address on foreign policy on Monday at the State Department.
