During his address on the economy at the White House, President Joe Biden suddenly left the podium, stating, “I apologize, but I have to go to the situation room. There’s an issue I need to deal with.” The White House has not yet provided an official statement explaining the interruption.
Speculation arose after allegations of an attack on US military bases in Syria, suggesting that this incident prompted President Biden’s departure to the White House Situation Room. This room serves as both a conference hall and an intelligence management center and is overseen by the US National Security Council.
