That doesn't seem to be right, though—the text that the story quoted was not the statement about surgery, which the Times for some inscrutable reason left out but Fox reported as being "The Administration does not support surgery for minors."
The Times editorial staff is a bunch of assholes and the paper is coasting on its rep as the "paper of record"; the publisher is pissy that Biden doesn't want to give an exclusive interview'; the 'results' they got were the stupidest possible.
