“One thing you'll see is an even closer partnership between the two countries coming out of today's bilat,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday, prior to the meeting. She added that Biden and Chaves “certainly are going to discuss how they can continue to work together to strengthen our economic ties and inclusive and resilient economies.”
