Remarks by President Biden in Press Gaggle

Statement

Q Mr. President, have -- have you heard the Burning Man news? Any reaction to that?

THE PRESIDENT: Yes. We're in touch with the local people. We're paying attention. We ought to be getting everybody out of there. There was one death; I don't know what the reason for the death was.

Q What -- are you looking forward to your trip next week?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I am. I'm --

Q What are you hoping to achieve in India and Vietnam?

THE PRESIDENT: (Referring to fellow churchgoers.) I'm holding people up here. I'm holding people up.

By the way, the reason I'm here today just for one day -- I know you (inaudible) I'm on vacation; I'm not. I have no home to go to. The Secret Service has torn my house up, in a good way, to make it secure. So I have no place to go when I come to Delaware except here right now. I'm only here for one day.

Q Are you homeless? Is that what you're telling us?

THE PRESIDENT: No, I'm not homeless. I just have one home -- I have a beautiful home. But I'm down here for the day because I can't go "home" home.

Q What do you want to achieve in Vietnam and India?

THE PRESIDENT: I want to -- a little more coordination. I think they both want much closer relations with the United States, and that could be very helpful.

(Cross-talk.)

THE PRESIDENT: Pardon me?

Q Have you heard that Zelenskyy has replaced his defense minister?

THE PRESIDENT: Yes.

Q Do you have any comment?

THE PRESIDENT: Not publicly.

Q Are you disappointed that President Xi is not going to the G20 (inaudible)?

THE PRESIDENT: I am disappointed, but I'm going to get to see him.

Thank you
