Biden takes surprising swipe at japan during donor dinner. Labels the nation xenophobic

Isn’t the UK in a recession despite having more Indians than Welsh people at this point?

The UK seems to be barely getting out but Canada is in a per capita recession. In reality the US is just deficit spending by an insane amount.

Also lol at the idea that Russia doesn't want immigrants. Vladimir Putin is one of the most liberal leaders in the entire world when it comes to immigration. Probably only 2nd to Justin Trudeau.

He mostly cracked down on the anti Tajik sentiments after the terrorist attacks and one of the main reason that Russian opposition group in Ukraine hates him is because he takes in so many immigrants.
Central Asia is to Russia as what Latin America is to the USA except Putin allows them in through legal channels far more than America.

Russia's economic problems is definitely not due to a lack of immigration although there is some issue with out migration.

Yeah, I was going to say... not only does he commit diplomatic faux pas, he doesn't even know the facts.

The funny thing is I doubt Putin really wants to correct the facts. Bringing attention to the large amounts of Central Asians in the country will never be a very popular position.

Also reminder that Biden(and probably Trump) are right now trying to block a deal where Nippon steel buys US steel despite a promise of no job cuts and with US steel floundering for the past decade. Its basically a great FDI deal with a nation that is one of our closest allies and we are for some reason trying to block this deal. If that isn't xenophobic I don't know what is.
