Remarks as Prepared for Delivery by First Lady Jill Biden at a Media Preview for the State Dinner of the Republic of Korea

State Dining Room, The White House Welcome everyone! It’s a pleasure to be with you to preview this state dinner. From my mother, I learned that setting a table can be an act of love. With just fresh flowers and a set of candles, she could turn an ordinary dinner into a magical moment that stayed with us long after the dishes were cleared away. Once I had my own family, I did my best to keep that tradition alive. From my husband, I learned that politics is personal.

Statement from President Joe Biden
