President Biden proud of Hunter but won’t pardon him
President Biden made headlines at the G7 summit when he addressed reporters on a wide range of topics, including his son Hunter Biden’s recent conviction and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.
During a meeting with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the two leaders signed a joint agreement highlighting their commitment to supporting Ukraine in its struggle against Russian attacks.
After the agreement signing, reporters had the chance to ask questions, leading to a pivotal moment when a reporter from The Associated Press inquired about expanding U.S. weapons into Russia and Hunter Biden’s trial.

Despite his personal feelings, Biden clarified that he would not intervene in the legal process and would respect the jury’s decision. This marked President Biden’s first public statement on the matter since his son’s conviction on federal gun charges.
The Biden-Zelenskyy meeting also prompted discussions on the Gaza situation, where President Biden’s remarks indicated a focus on resolving the conflict through diplomatic channels. When pressed on Hamas’ involvement and potential for a deal with Israel, Biden emphasized the need for all parties to adhere to agreed-upon frameworks and expressed cautious optimism about the prospects for progress.
Overall, President Biden’s comments at the summit underscored the administration’s commitment to addressing key international challenges while also navigating personal issues with transparency and integrity.
