President Joe Biden had an awkward answer to reporters on Thursday when asked about gas prices and his message to Saudi Arabia.
“We’re — ‘we’re about to talk to you,'” Biden responded.
The reporter asked who Biden was referring to.
“We’re about to talk to them,” Biden said.
“In what way, sir?” the reporter asked.
“Stay tuned,” Biden said.
Biden was also asked about the price of gas in Los Angeles, where the reporter said it is almost $7/gallon.
“Well, that’s always been the case here,” Biden said. You know, it’s not — what — nationwide, they came down about $1.35, and they’re still down over a dollar. But we’re going to work on — housing is the big — is the most important thing we have to do in terms of that.”
