President Joe Biden welcomed New Zealand's far-left Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, to the White House. During a meeting Tuesday, the two discussed gun control, so-called climate change and their support for the Ukraine government.

Ardern has been facing criticism at home for her stringent COVID lockdowns along with her failed 'Zero-COVID' policy that caused mass protests across New Zealand. Nonetheless, Biden said he and Ardern are on the same page and they share a similar political agenda.

"We need your guidance...it's a pleasure to see you in person," Biden stated. "You understand that your leadership has taken on a critical role in this global stage and it really has. Galvanizing action on climate change, a global effort to confront violence and extremism online like after the Christchurch... I want to work with you on that effort."
