Addressing the "grim, heartbreaking milestone" directly and publicly, Biden stepped to a lectern within the White House Cross Hall, unhooked his mask and delivered an emotion-filled eulogy for 500,071 Americans he said he felt he knew. "We often hear people described as ordinary Americans. there's no such thing," he said Monday evening. "There's nothing ordinary about them. The people we lost were extraordinary." "Just like that," he added, "so many of them took their last breath alone." A president whose own life has been marked by family tragedy, Biden spoke in deeply personal terms, referencing...

‘anti-China alliance’

Image
  Biden may face an uphill task trying to form an ‘anti-China alliance’ in Asia U.S. President Joe Biden may find it difficult to collect Asian “swing states” into a coalition against China, a political analyst told CNBC. Part of that challenge stems from Biden’s promise to rebuild the American bourgeoisie — which could hamper efforts to push economic and trade policies that Asian countries would check in to, said James Crabtree, a professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore. “What the U.S. has done traditionally is, it’s tried to use both its security and economic power to entice allies into its camp. So as an example , it found out the first TPP trade agreement,” Crabtree told CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia” on Friday. TPP refers to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade pact negotiated by former President Barack Obama and 11 other countries — most of them in Asia-Pacific, which excludes China. The deal in its original form would be the world’s largest trade agr...

"The US must speak up on human rights abuses and that there will be repercussions for China, and (Xi Jinping) knows that," Biden said during CNN town hall.

Biden Pitches Stimulus Plan

  Biden Pitches Stimulus Plan at Wisconsin Town Hall President Biden said on Tuesday that every American who wants a Covid-19 vaccine will be able to get one by the end of July, striking a more optimistic tone than he delivered last week when he warned that logistical and distribution hurdles would most likely mean that many people would still not have been vaccinated by the end of the summer. Mr. Biden made the comment in Milwaukee during a town hall-style meeting hosted by CNN. When the host, Anderson Cooper, asked him when every American who wants a vaccine was “going to be ready to get a vaccine?” Mr. Biden replied without hesitation: “By the top of July this year.” He then tempered the remark slightly, telling Mr. Cooper that the doses would “be available” by that time. But he also said he did not expect it to take months to get the shots into people’s arms. At a time when Americans are yearning to urge back to what life was like before the pandemic, Mr. Biden sought to supply...
