United States (US) President Joe Biden pledged his administration will work to secure the release of journalists and American nationals held by foreign governments, while calling on the country to defend democracy. ManilaBulletin
“Everyone in this hall stands with you,” Biden said at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night in Washington, addressing Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who is currently being held in Russia. “We are working every day to secure his release, looking at opportunities and tools to bring him home.”
Biden’s speech comes days after he announced a widely-expected reelection campaign. Current polls show Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump barreling toward a rematch of their bitterly contested 2020 election. Biden’s monologue hit many of the same notes of his 2024 campaign rollout, mainly his contention that America’s democracy remains fragile.
