Simon Ateba is Chief White House Correspondent for Today News Africa. Simon covers President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, the U.S. government, the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and other financial and international institutions in Washington D.C. and New York City.
President Joseph R. Biden Jr. took questions from reporters at the White House on Wednesday for nearly two hours, but not even once did Africa come up in a substantive way during the press conference.
