President Joe Biden has sparked controversy by labeling key U.S. allies and global economic players as 'xenophobic' during various public appearances and campaign events. Specifically, Biden criticized Japan, India, China, and Russia for their restrictive immigration policies, suggesting that such attitudes are detrimental to their economic growth. He stated, '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.' This has caused significant diplomatic tension, especially following his recent commendation of Japan during a state visit by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The backlash has been notable, with widespread criticism and media coverage in the affected countries, questioning Biden's diplomatic strategy. In response, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre emphasized that Biden's broader message was understood by most global leaders and allies.

This is what Biden actually said. “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. Immigrants are what makes us strong."… https://t.co/X7cuwEVUZ4
This is why they don’t let Biden speak… Japan likes preserving their national identity and culture. They want their grandkids to experience the same country they did. Maintaining borders and stopping illegal immigration is not xenophobic, it’s rational and a job you failed. https://t.co/IVoeRu1F9j
