White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will address the press Tuesday afternoon as the Southeastern United States continues to recover from the effects of Hurricane Helen.
President Biden plans to visit North Carolina on Wednesday to see the damage firsthand. Biden on Monday slammed former President Donald Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, for criticizing his administration's response to the storm.
The president is expected to receive an update on the response and recovery efforts late Tuesday afternoon.
The press conference comes as the conflict between Israel and Lebanon escalates in the Middle East following the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah over the weekend, and Israel's apparent disregard for ceasefire negotiations led by the United States and France. It was done.
Biden spoke by phone with Jewish leaders early Tuesday ahead of the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur holidays.
Jean-Pierre is scheduled to speak alongside Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas at 1:30 p.m. EDT.
