Videos: Biden’s Joint News Conference with Australian PM Albanese Takes an Unexpected Turn – This Is Bad Even For Biden’s Standard

U.S. President Joe Biden said he was “doubling down” on the alliance with Australia as he welcomed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to the Oval Office on Wednesday, part of a state visit intended to bolster American ties in the Pacific against the backdrop of fighting between Israel and Hamas.

Biden said the leaders would discuss supporting Ukraine, where the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues after almost two years, and how to “stand with Israel in the wake of Hamas’ appalling terrorist attack.”

The state visit, only the fourth since Biden took office, is a reminder of how he’s pursuing long-term plans to counter China’s influence even as bloody conflicts in the Middle East and Europe remain the most immediate concerns.

This is what the AP and the rest of the mainstream media wrote about Biden’s appearance and stance.

Things however, took an unexpected turn when Biden had to face the journalists.

This was bad even for Biden’s standards:
