White House blames 'echoey room' after Biden struggles to hear questions from reporters in Helsinki
Fox News
During a news conference in Helsinki, Finland, Thursday, President Biden kept asking reporters to repeat their questions, saying he did not hear them.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, the White House blamed the confusion on the "large echoey room" where the briefing took place.

What …," a reporter said before Biden cut her off.
"What? I'm sorry, I didn't hear the last part of your question," Biden interjected.
