Japan and India reject Biden's comments describing them as xenophobic countries
==========

Japan and India have rejected remarks made by U.S. President Joe Biden during a campaign fundraising event, where he described them as "xenophobic" countries that do not welcome immigrants. Japan stated that Biden's judgment was not based on an accurate understanding of its policy, while India defended itself as the world's most open society. Biden grouped Japan and India with Russia and China as struggling economies, contrasting them with the strength of the U.S. as a nation of immigrants. Both Japan and India are key U.S. allies and part of the Quad, a U.S.-led informal partnership to counter China in the Indo-Pacific. The White House clarified that Biden meant no offense and was emphasizing the U.S. as a nation of immigrants. Japan and India expressed disappointment with Biden's remarks but affirmed their strong relations with the U.S.
