New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who successfully oversaw the implementation of gun control measures in her own country, will meet with President Biden on Tuesday at the White House to discuss a range of issues, including countering "radicalization to violence both off and online."

Why it matters: This is the first time a New Zealand leader has visited the White House since 2014, with Biden and Ardern slated to discuss their bilateral relationship, their shared vision for the Indo-Pacific region, and the climate crisis, according to a statement from White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

They will also discuss the need for "countering terrorism and radicalization to violence both off and online," Jean-Pierre said.

1. I hope she wears amask

She was with Gavin Newsom this past Friday and he tested positive for covid.

Side note I was driving to work on Friday and saw him, the Prime Minister and the mayor of SF in Golden Gate Park. All these news people and dignities no one wearing a mask!
