U.S. President Joe Biden is calling on New Zealand’s Prime Minister in the wake of last week’s mass shooting in Texas

New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern visited President Joe Biden in Oval Office, where the pair spoke about gun violence.

The U.S. is still piecing together the impacts of the Uvalde school shooting, where 21 people were gunned down last week.

Biden says he has been to the aftermath of more shootings than any other U.S president.

“Your leadership has taken on a critical role in this global stage.”

It follows a deadly shooting at a mosque in Christchurch in 2019, where a gunman killed 51 worshippers.

Biden drew on Ardern’s “galvanising action on climate change; the global effort to curb violence, extremism, and online, like happened in Christchurch”.

The New Zealand leader banned most-semi-automatic weapons in the wake of the Christchurch attack.

“If there’s anything that we can share that would be of any value, we are here to share it,” Ardern says.

The two leaders agreed to cooperate on violent extremism, gun violence and climate change.
