President Biden is set to hold a significant press conference on Thursday evening, marking his first solo press event since the APEC Summit in California eight months ago. This press conference comes after a recent meeting with China's President Xi Jinping on Nov. 15, where Biden reportedly left feeling optimistic about reducing tensions between U.S. and Chinese forces in the Asia-Pacific region.
During the APEC Summit, President Biden's press conference lasted approximately 20 minutes, during which he fielded about five questions before concluding the session. Notably, throughout his 41-month tenure as president, Biden has gone without a solo news conference for a total of 30 months, without a TV news interview for 16 months, and without either for 10 months, as per sources.
