Biden stated, “They are dead wrong. It’s the single greatest existential threat to humanity.”

He said that the transition to clean energy is already underway and highlighted the competition with China for dominance in clean energy manufacturing and supply chains.

Biden asserted that the United States must succeed in this contest to shape the global economy for decades.

Biden announced he is actively pursuing a ceasefire deal in Gaza during his final days in office.

He stated that the proposed deal aims to release hostages held by Hamas and halt the ongoing fighting.

Biden indicated that this agreement would also enhance security for Israel while significantly increasing humanitarian assistance to the region.

He expressed understanding for the suffering of the Palestinian people, stating they have experienced immense hardship due to the conflict initiated by Hamas.

He stressed the urgency of closing the deal to reunite families with their loved ones taken as hostages.

Biden’s focus on these pressing matters reflects his commitment to addressing significant global challenges even as his presidency comes to a close.
