Joe Biden says upcoming budget will include higher taxes, aimed at America’s wealthiest residents

Joe Biden says his March 9 budget proposal to the U.S. Congress will include some higher taxes, as the president targets the nation’s billionaires.

Speaking in Virginia, Biden confirmed he won’t violate his pledge not to raise rates on those Americans making less than $400,000 a year.

This was one of Biden’s key 2020 campaign pledges.

Meanwhile, the White House is facing pressure from the other side of the aisle – as Republicans threaten to not raise the debt limit unless the president agrees to sharp spending cuts.

Biden is vowing to slash the deficit by $2 trillion over 10 years in this upcoming budget proposal.

He is also challenging Republicans to release their own proposals and to negotiate over this, rather than over whether the country should raise the debt ceiling and pay its existing bills. #trending #featured

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
