President Biden’s Media Request Caught on Hot Mic Before Sudden End to Event with World Leaders
President Joe Biden was caught on the hot mic Friday during a panel with world leaders from South Korea and Japan asking the press to leave, according to a recording of the summit.
The president was meeting with President Yoon Suk Yeol of the Republic of Korea and Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan at Camp David in Maryland on Friday to discuss security concerns in the Pacific, The Associated Press reported.
At the end of the televised panel, the president signaled that he wanted the reporters to leave before turning to smile at the crowd, according to a White House video of the event.
“Politely ask the press to leave,” Biden said to someone off-camera before the White House recording of the event abruptly ended.
The comment raised eyebrows on social media.
He can’t take a question without a teleprompter

Proof positive that Biden is incapable of handling the job.

The three countries are looking to create a trilateral relationship with growing security concerns about China’s activities in the area.
However, the administration was still discussing whether to mention China at all during the summit after both Beijing and North Korea objected strongly to the meeting.
The White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
