Biden unveils election battle plan: 'Bidenomics'

13 Sept 07:08 Key points summarised by AI

President Biden is launching 'Bidenomics' as his central re-election strategy, aiming to persuade voters that his economic policies are beneficial despite current low approval.
Bidenomics directly challenges 'trickle-down economics' (Reaganomics), advocating for economic growth by strengthening the middle class through strategic government investment.
The strategy highlights significant legislative achievements, including historic government spending on green energy, semiconductors, and infrastructure to stimulate long-term expansion and revitalize US manufacturing.
The White House believes these investments will catalyze private sector growth and job creation, with officials asserting that the full positive impact is just beginning to be felt by the American public.

Today 12:56 Key points summarised by AI

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
