Washington (AFP) - Most of Joe Biden's clean energy tax credits are now law and are unlikely to be reversed by Donald Trump if he wins November's presidential election, a senior administration official said Friday. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) -- one of Biden's most significant policy achievements as president -- contains tax credits, subsidies and grants worth hundreds of billions of dollars designed to turbo-charge America's energy transition. The legislation has been opposed by some Republicans, including Trump, who is reportedly looking at ways to gut Biden's signature law if he...

Washington (AFP) - Days after the October 7 attack, Joe Biden walked onto the tarmac in Tel Aviv and offered a warm bear hug to Benjamin Netanyahu, a sign both of solid support for Israel and the US president's long, if not uncomplicated, relationship with the prime minister. Seven months into the devastating conflict, the gentle approach is over. Biden, who memorably once wrote to Netanyahu "I love you," has for the first time raised the ultimate leverage the United States has on Israel -- military aid, which totals $3 billion a year. Biden -- whose backing for Israel in the face of civilian ...

Washington (AFP) - Donald Trump will refuse to accept the results if he loses the US election this year, Joe Biden said Wednesday. The two men, who fought for the White House in 2020, are set for a rematch in November that polls show the American public is unenthusiastic about. In an interview with CNN, Biden raised the prospect of Trump not accepting the outcome of the ballot. "I promise you he won't, which is dangerous." Trump still insists -- without foundation -- that he won the 2020 election, despite losing repeated legal challenges. "How many court cases did they have? Supreme Court cas...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden condemned a "ferocious surge" in anti-Semitism on Tuesday, in a Holocaust memorial speech that came at a fraught moment in Israel's war in Gaza and with protests roiling American universities. Biden, who has backed Israel since the start of the conflict, said too many people were forgetting that it was the Palestinian militant group Hamas that "unleashed this terror" with the October 7 attack on Israel. "I have not forgotten, nor have you, and we will not forget," Biden said at the US Capitol in a keynote address to mark the US Holocaust Memorial Museu...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden will speak out against anti-Semitism at a Holocaust memorial ceremony Tuesday, as tensions remain high over nationwide campus protests against Israel's war in Gaza. The speech at the US Capitol comes after Biden finally addressed the demonstrations last week, following days of silence that drew criticism from both Republicans and his fellow Democrats in an election year. It also comes as the president warns Israel against invading the crowded Gazan city of Rafah, while pushing for a ceasefire with Hamas -- which said Monday it had accepted a deal for a...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden took pointed digs at election rival Donald Trump Friday as he awarded the country's top civilian honor to Democratic allies including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi and vice president Al Gore. Biden said the veteran Pelosi had "defended democracy" during the January 6, 2021 assault on the US capitol by a mob of Trump supporters enraged by the Republican's election loss a few weeks earlier. Gore meanwhile was "amazing" for accepting his own disputed election loss to George W. Bush in 2000 for the sake of the country, Biden said, drawing a clear contr...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden faces a tough reelection battle this November, but for one day at least The Force was with him. Legendary "Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room on Friday after meeting the US president. Hamill, 72, who played the powerful Jedi knight Luke Skywalker in the film series and is a vocal Biden supporter, took the podium wearing a pair of the president's trademark aviator sunglasses. "I called him 'Mr President,' he said 'You can call me Joe.' And I said, 'Can I call you Joe-bi Wan Kenobi?' He liked that," quipped Hamill...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden broke his silence Thursday on the student protests against Israel's war with Hamas but the US president faces a difficult balancing act to avoid hurting his reelection chances against Donald Trump. "There's the right to protest but not the right to cause chaos," the 81-year-old Democrat said in a televised address from the White House. Biden took a tough, law-and-order tone after police broke up some of the protests that have rocked US college campuses, even as he insisted the United States would not "squash dissent." "Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shut...

Students must have the right to free speech but "violent protest is not protected" under the law, US President Joe Biden said on Thursday, as university campuses from New York to Los Angeles were gripped by unrest over Israel's war in Gaza. "We are not an authoritarian nation where we silence people or squash dissent. The American people are heard," Biden said at the White House. "In fact, peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues. But neither are we a lawless country. We are a civil society and order must prevail," Biden added. Speaking just ho...
