The US government has told the media that despite requests from the administration for more press access, journalists traveling with US President Joe Biden to India for the G20 summit will not get a chance to pose questions to either him or Prime Minister Narendra Modi when they meet in New Delhi.
“This meeting will be taking place at the prime minister’s residence, so, it is unusual in that respect – this is not your typical bilateral visit to India, with meetings taking place in the prime minister’s office and an entire program,” national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Thursday. “This is the host of the G20 hosting a significant number of leaders, doing so in his home, and he set out the protocols he set out.”
