Watch as Karine Jean-Pierre holds White House press briefing alongside John Kirby

Watch as Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, holds a briefing alongside John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council.

Mr Kirby previewed a visit from Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, and also took questions on foreign policy.

Meanwhile, Ms Jean-Pierre spoke on the same day that the Biden administration released the National Cybersecurity Strategy to “secure the full benefits of a safe and secure digital ecosystem for all Americans”.

A White House statement said the United States will “reimagine cyberspace as a tool to achieve our goals” in a way that “reflects our values”.

Those values were then listed as “economic security and prosperity”, “respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms”, “trust in our democracy and democratic institutions” and “an equitable and diverse society”.

“To realize this vision, we must make fundamental shifts in how the United States allocates roles, responsibilities, and resources in cyberspace,” the statement read.
