Remarks by President Biden on Lowering Healthcare Costs for Americans

Today, I had a candid conversation with President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China on a range of issues, including areas of cooperation and areas of difference.

I emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and in the South China Sea, and raised concerns over the PRC’s support for Russia’s defense industrial base, their unfair trade policies, and economic and technological practices that harm American workers and families.

Happy Easter, America.

Today, on the start of Arab American Heritage Month, our Administration honors the rich heritage, history, and hopes of the Arab Americans across our country who have helped write the American story and move our nation forward.

I am outraged and heartbroken by the deaths of seven humanitarian workers from World Central Kitchen, including one American, in Gaza yesterday.

Incidents like yesterday’s simply should not happen. Here is my full statement.

Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you.

You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.

Some Congressional Republicans call the Affordable Connectivity Program wasteful. I call it necessary.

It’s time Congress extended it so the 23 million households across America that rely on the program can stay connected.

Our Administration will continue to do all we can to deliver humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians in Gaza through all available means.

President Biden will continue to press Israel to do more to facilitate that aid. And our Administration will continue to push hard for a ceasefire as part of a hostage deal.

On National Vietnam War Veterans Day, I salute all those who served and defended our Constitution during the Vietnam War.

They sacrificed, as did their families, on behalf of our nation – we’ll always remember those we lost, honor those who came home, and recommit to bringing home those who remain missing or unaccounted for.

Today, we honor César E. Chávez by carrying on the cause to which he dedicated his life: Championing the dignity and rights of every worker, using nonviolence to fight for justice, and standing with organized labor to build an economy that rewards work and not just wealth.
