This was reported by RIA Novosti.
The dispute arose because of the journalist's attempt to ask a question about the US-African countries summit.
Jean-Pierre interrupted the journalist when he was trying to explain the importance of this topic.
After that, the journalist tried several times to ask a question, but Jean-Pierre interrupted him and stated that the media employee did not allow her to answer the question.
In response to another attempt by a journalist to ask a question, the White House representative said goodbye and left the briefing room.
In November, Karine Jean-Pierre got into an argument with reporters during a briefing when it came to the origin of the coronavirus.
