[트럼프 시대]Spokesperson: “Didn’t you see the backlash from the pandemic? It’s no different in the U.S.”
The schedule for President-elect Trump’s invitation to the White House is currently undecided, but will be shared as soon as it is scheduled.
(Washington = News 1) Correspondent Ryu Jeong-min = On the 7th (local time), the U.S. White House denied the theory of President Joe Biden’s responsibility raised by both inside and outside the Democratic Party, saying that the cause of the defeat in the presidential election was inevitable due to high inflation due to the response to COVID-19. .
When asked at a briefing today whether President Biden felt responsible for the Democratic Party’s defeat in the presidential election, White House spokeswoman Carine Jean-Pierre responded, “I believe President Biden made the right decision to withdraw from the Democratic Party’s presidential candidacy.”
Spokesperson Jean-Pierre said, “The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in the supply chain and a global backlash that has taken a political toll on many sitting presidents. Haven’t we seen political parties in power around the world take a political hit?” .
He added, “I will leave the political analysis related to the defeat to the experts,” and added, “What I witnessed (the results of the U.S. presidential election) two nights ago was no different from what current presidents around the world have shown.”
When asked, ‘Do you regret your decision to give up your bid for a second term?’ Spokesperson Jean-Pierre said, “When President Biden decided to replace Vice President Kamala Harris, he believed that Harris was ready and that it was the right decision.” “Despite being able to lead the world in terms of economy, (our case) is very consistent with what we’ve seen in other G7 countries where incumbents have suffered from COVID-19,” he said.
Regarding the schedule of President-elect Donald Trump’s invitation to the White House, he responded, “Our team (current administration) and (President-elect Trump’s) transition team are working to meet, and we will share related information in the near future.”
Spokesperson Jean-Pierre said the Trump transition team has not yet signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that must be signed with the White House before transitioning to power.
When asked whether the leaders of each country expressed any concerns to President Biden about the results of this presidential election, he said, “It has only been two days, so there is nothing to convey at the moment,” but added, “Over the past three years of my term, whether it was Ukraine, the Middle East, the Indo-Pacific, or NATO. “It was definitely President Biden’s leadership that made (NATO, North Atlantic Treaty Organization) stronger,” he said.
He continued, “This will be our focus for the remaining 74 days of the term.”
When asked if President Biden was willing to pardon his second son, Hunter Biden, he answered “no.”
Hunter Biden was indicted last year on charges of purchasing and possessing a handgun in October 2018 while hiding the fact that he was a drug addict, and was found guilty by a jury in June of this year.
The sentencing is scheduled to take place on December 4th. Hunter is charged with tax evasion, and a sentencing hearing is scheduled for December 16th, with Hunter admitting to the charges.
