He discussed the effect Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine has had on food supplies and prices in the US.

“Jen Psaki has set the standard for returning decency, respect, and decorum to the White House Briefing Room," Biden said in a statement.

"I want to say 'thank you' to Jen for raising the bar, communicating directly and truthfully to the American people, and keeping her sense of humor while doing so.

"I thank Jen for her service to the country, and wish her the very best as she moves forward.”

What is Joe Biden doing to help Ukraine?

Biden announced in April that he plans to send $800million in military aid to help Ukraine following Russia's invasion, Yahoo! News reported.

A White House official confirmed the news and added the president will also detail plans to build on the roughly $2.6billion in military assistance that has already been approved for Ukraine.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and Biden said he fears Putin doesn't have a way to back out of the war.

Speaking at a political fundraiser in a Washington suburb on May 9, Biden said Putin mistakingly thought he would break up NATO and the European Union, but instead the war has strengthened the international alliance.

“[It’s] critically important because Putin is a — I’ve known him for a while. I’ve spent time with him. He’s a very, very, very calculating man,” Biden said at the fundraiser.

“And the problem I worry about now is that he doesn’t have a way out right now, and I’m trying to figure out what we do about that."

He added, “I’m confident that Putin believed that he could break up NATO. I’m confident he believed he could break the European Union, that we couldn’t hold it together.

“But we’re doing it. It’s not easy, and a lot of other countries have to make greater or lesser sacrifices than we. But it’s not easy.” 

Why did former President Barack Obama visit The White House?

Former President Barack Obama visited the White House on April 5, alongside Biden to discuss the Affordable Care Act, which he signed into law 12 years ago.

"It is good to be back in the White House," Obama said on CBS News.

"It's been a while. I confess, I heard some changes have been made by the current president since I was last year. Apparently, Secret Service agents have to wear aviators now. The Navy mess has been replaced by a Baskin Robbins.

"And there's a cat running around, which I guarantee you, Beau, it's funny, would have been very unhappy about. But coming back, even if I have to wear a tie, which I very rarely do these days, gives me a chance to visit with some of the incredible people who serve this White House and serve this country every single day." 

Obama's visit comes amid Biden's plans to expand on the Affordable Care Act in hopes of lowering the cost of health care for millions of Americans.

The Treasury Department proposed a new law that would allow family members who pay more than 10 percent of their income for health care coverage to get financial help, CBS News reports.

"As a result, 200,000 uninsured people are expected to gain coverage, and nearly a million more are expected to see lower premiums every day," a senior administration official told reporters.

If signed, the rule would not go into effect until January 2023, but the official noted that Biden would sign an executive order "directing agencies to do everything within their power to make health care more accessible and affordable."

Biden said at the time, "The bottom line is this — the Affordable Care Act is stronger now than it's ever been."
