Biden at G7 debut vows action on climate, Covid recovery
France24 ^ | February 19, 2021

Posted on 02/19/2021 3:35:07 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Joe Biden makes his presidential debut at the G7 on Friday as America's partners re-focus their collective heft on pandemic recovery and climate change after the psychodramas of the Trump era.

Following the summit, Biden, Johnson and EU leaders in the G7 will join another gathering online, the annual Munich Security Conference, to discuss "renewing transatlantic cooperation".

Biden will become the first US president to address the Munich meeting, underlining a decisive shift after cooperation was all but broken under his go-it-alone predecessor Donald Trump.

Since taking office last month, the Democrat has re-committed the United States to action on global warming and to the World Health Organization (WHO). Friday marked its formal re-entry to the Paris climate accord.

However, Biden has maintained one Trumpian perspective -- mistrust of China.

Beijing is not part of the G7 -- which comprises Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the US -- and Washington is repositioning rich democracies as a counterweight to China amid mistrust of its initial handling of Covid-19.

Biden will in addition promote "a robust agenda of measures to address the global climate crisis", as Britain prepares to host the UN's next climate summit, COP26, in the Scottish city of Glasgow in November.

I have come to hate the word robust almost as much as the word granular because of the overuse of the word in politics

As I understand English .... the word "have" is possessive and means something exists and is readily available to the one that "have(s)"

as in

I HAVE a plan to get rid of COVID.


All of us Conservatives knew all this beforehand but does ANY biden voter see and admit, "Holy JIT ... what an ass I am !" ... ?

How about the word “debunked”? That’s used whenever they know that the truth is getting too close.

He had lid weeks before the debates. It’s probably to keep the reporters away while they get his doses right and to keep him from being stressed out by the reporters.

All those hard-hitting questions like “did you have a lot of fun playing Mario Kart all weekend with your granddaughter, Mr. President?”, “Mr. President, who is your favorite Mario Kart character?”, and “Mr. President, do you agree that Trump is still the evilest and meanest man ever?” can really knock the wind out of ya. Can’t be expected to answer more than a couple of them a week.

Something is really worrying me. When SLOJO goes to one of those G-Whatever meetings with the other world leaders, where is Dr. Jill going to sit for the group picture? After all, SLOJO can let loose with some real doozy gaffes while the photographer is trying to focus.
