US President Joe Biden calls the election of Rishi Sunak as the new British Prime Minister groundbreaking.
– It’s quite astonishing, a groundbreaking milestone that matters, Biden said during a White House event for the Indian holiday of Diwali.
Sunak is of Indian descent and becomes the country’s first non-white prime minister. Biden has yet to call to officially congratulate, that will happen only after Sunak’s meeting with King Charles III on Tuesday.
