The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue leaders are privately meeting with President Biden at his Delaware estate.

On Saturday, the White House acknowledged the arrival of Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, while Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was spotted arriving at the home.

The White House Correspondents' Association has expressed outrage over the private nature of the meetings taking place in Wilmington, the president's hometown.

On Saturday night, a low-profile dinner will be hosted at Archmere Academy, the president's former school, and foreign leaders are invited.

Officials have attempted to describe the unique format and location of the event as a gesture of hospitality, but journalists have objected to the private nature of Biden's final meeting with world leaders.

John Kirby, the White House national security spokesman, previously stated that personal relationships are crucial to foreign policy and hold great significance for him.

President Biden will host foreign leaders in Wilmington for the first time as president, indicating the depth of his bond with the leaders and their significance, according to the State Department.

The WHCA president and Politico correspondent Eugene Daniels stated in an email to the press, which was obtained by Planet Chronicle Digital, that the White House's choice of location for bilateral meetings prevented him from accessing the president of the United States, which he found unacceptable.

Daniels stated in a message to the White House that he comprehends the administration's stance on the press not being allowed to see POTUS's eyes or cameras during the historic meeting. He noted that he cannot recall any previous instance where this president has had a bilateral meeting on US soil and the press and the American people were excluded from viewing it.

The WHCA's stance is that the pool should not be restricted from covering the greetings this time. We have discussed various scenarios and possibilities for the pool to cover these moments. Although we acknowledge security concerns, it is crucial for the public to have direct and independent press accounts of the greetings at the very least.

Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, stated that it is typical for the press not to be present when the president meets with foreign leaders at his home. She emphasized that reporters would have the opportunity to observe Biden and the world leaders when they depart.

Biden's final summit with foreign leaders is expected to be the meeting.
