Biden recognized incredible contribution of Indian American community: Spokesperson

US President Joe Biden recognised the incredible contribution of the Indian American community when last week during an interaction with NASA scientists involved in the Mars mission he said that people of Indian descent were taking over the country, his spokesperson said Thursday.

“I’ll first say that the president was just recognising and honouring and valuing our –this was his intention — the incredible contribution of Indian-Americans to science,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters at her daily news conference.

She was responding to a question on the remarks by Biden last week when he said that Indian Americans are taking over the country.
