Right of Reply on Death Penalty

I appreciate the EU raising this issue. The Biden-Harris administration has been clear that reviewing the federal death penalty is a priority and all federal executions are halted while this review continues.  President Biden supports legislatively ending the death penalty at the federal level and encourages states to do so as well.  We welcome the EU’s interest in our judicial system, and welcome ongoing dialogue on this important issue.
