President Joe Biden's recent statement labeling Japan and India as "xenophobic" due to their immigration policies has sparked backlash and diplomatic tensions. Biden's comments, made during a speech where he described the two countries alongside China and Russia as unwelcoming to immigrants, were met with strong criticism from Japanese and Indian officials [1]. The Japanese embassy responded by rebuking Biden's remarks, pointing out that Japan's economy has been growing due to its immigration policies and commitment to diversity [3].

The White House attempted to do damage control by defending Biden's statements, emphasizing that the President was highlighting the need for countries to be more inclusive [4]. Nevertheless, Japan and India, along with other Asian nations, took offense to being grouped in the same category as China and Russia in terms of xenophobia [7]. Biden's nod towards Japan being xenophobic for not having open borders has caused uproar within the nation and among its politicians who criticized Biden's stance, especially considering the historical alliance between the U.S. and Japan [21, 28].

The fallout from Biden's characterization of these countries as xenophobic has attracted attention from various news outlets globally [15, 28]. Some have raised concerns about the implications of Biden's remarks on US relationships with key Asian nations and emphasized the importance of diplomacy [31]. The incident has also drawn comparisons to past gaffes made by former President Donald Trump and whether such gaffes have a lasting impact on international relations [2].

In summary, Biden's comments alleging Japan and India to be xenophobic nations due to their immigration policies have caused a diplomatic row, with the countries in question expressing disappointment and, in some cases, outrage at the characterization [20]. The situation underscores the importance of diplomatic tact and careful communication in international relations [7].
