A video of US President Joe Biden walking out of a press conference has surfaced online.
Silicon Valley Bank, one of America’s largest banks with assets worth $160 billion, was shut down by its regulators due to severe financial crisis. In this case, in the press conference held yesterday, questions were asked about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
Speaking in it, Biden said that “measures are being taken to maintain the banks and keep the banks safe, and people should not be afraid.” As he concluded his remarks, a reporter asked, “Can you assure the American people that bank failures will have no consequences? Do you expect other banks to fail?” asked that.
President Biden left without responding. A video of his exit has gone viral on the White House’s YouTube channel with more than four million views. This is not the first time that the President of the United States has left the press room in high demand. It is noteworthy that questions about China’s “spy balloon” incident were also left unanswered.
“Can you assure Americans that there won’t be a ripple effect? Do you expect other banks to fail?”
