He disclosed this while making a case for Black Maternal Health Week.
Posting via X, Biden said his administration is addressing the unfair treatment being faced by the black community in the US.
Biden wrote: “Black women in America are 3x as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women, making Black Maternal Health Week an urgent call for action.
