President Biden had a heads-up in regards to the first query he would obtain throughout a press convention with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday, in keeping with an in depth shot of crib notes within the president’s hand.

Photographs credited to Getty Images present Mr. Biden holding a paper with the identify of Los Angeles Times journalist Courtney Subramanian, a information to announcing her identify and a small photograph of her.

“How are YOU squaring YOUR domestic priorities — like reshoring semiconductors manufacturing — with alliance-based foreign policy?” the query mentioned, although the remaining is obscured.

Ms. Subramanian was known as on first, although her query was extra detailed and challenged Mr. Biden on whether or not he was hurting South Korea along with his crackdown on Chinese semiconductors.

While it is not uncommon for leaders to have an concept of who they may name on at a press convention, or for aides to pepper reporters about potential queries, the extent of element had some journalists bowled over.

John Roberts, a Fox News anchor who spent a very long time overlaying the White House, known as the cheat sheet “really quite incredible.”

“I covered three presidents … Clinton, Bush and Trump.” Never as soon as did I inform the White House what I used to be going to ask,” he tweeted.

The episode is prone to gas criticism that Mr. Biden, who's 80 and the oldest serving president, is over-reliant on notes when dealing with the general public.

In March 2022, he wielded a set of ready solutions after he precipitated an uproar by hinting at regime change by saying Russian President Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

Other crib notes have given Mr. Biden detailed notes on what to do when coming into a Cabinet assembly.

The Washington Times reached out to the White House for touch upon whether or not the notes are a regular process.
