Watch: Biden’s press secretary quizzed on Sunak’s green card

"What if this was someone serving in the Russian Duma," a reporter asked.

Joe Biden’s press secretary had to field questions on Rishi Sunak’s permanent residency status in the country during a press conference this weekend.

According to Sky News reports, Sunak and his wife, Akshata Murthy, held green cards in the US until more than a year into his chancellorship – before then giving it up during his period at the Treasury.

Holders of a US green card are required to pay US tax on their worldwide income, and to pledge the US is their forever home.

The US government website says the card is only for people who “make the US your permanent home” – which would be odd for someone holding multiple jobs in government, including local government minister, chief secretary to the Treasury, and chancellor.

Jen Psaki was asked how this was allowed to happen at a presser yesterday:

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
