US President Joe Biden chastised a reporter on Friday for breaking White House protocol during a meeting with UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. During a meeting with the UK PM, President Biden stopped a reporter from asking about Vladimir Putin's threat of war, telling them to "be quiet" until he finished his opening remarks. "I say you be quiet till I speak, ok? That's what I'd say. Good idea?," Biden told the reporter. After the reporter repeated the question, Biden reiterated his request, saying he would address the issue after speaking. "Well, you gotta be quiet, I'm going to make a statement here, ok?," said Biden before turning to Prime Minister Starmer to begin his opening remarks. In foreign leader meetings, the usual protocol involves the leaders making their statements first, followed by journalists having the opportunity to ask questions.
