How about Biden addresses his own country's cultural issues before weighing in on the neighbours.

It’s an economic issue not a cultural one for them

The US should adopt Chinese as an official language, in order to make it easier to engage with Chinese businesses.

It's an economic issue.

The US doesn’t have official languages

Come on. This is very clearly “howaboutism”.

I mean, in this case it's, "Mind your business." Quebec's language laws are not the USA's concern.

That's exactly what USA are trying to do, minding their own business.

It's a law directly impacting all businesses operating in Quebec.

Exactly. Quebec law is not the USA's business. American owned businesses understood they would be subject to Canadian law when they set up shop here.

An "advisor for the United States Trade Representative" raised concerns.
