Joe Biden calls America’s close allies ‘xenophobic’ in latest blunder

Sky News host James Morrow reacts to President Joe Biden calling Japan and India “xenophobic” in his latest blunder.

The President was delivering a speech at a campaign fundraising event when he started discussing the growth of America’s economy due to its rapid immigration.

“Think about it. Why is China stalling so badly economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia? Why is India? Because they're xenophobic. They don't want immigrants,” he said.

Following the incident, the White House said President Biden meant no offence to either country, according to the BBC.

“Maybe instead of insulting allies for not embracing the left's particular love for cultural diversity, Biden should work on making Bidenomics work for ordinary Americans and not just asset-rich donors,” Mr Morrow said.
