Biden’s scoop as the global economy melts

BIDEN’S SCOOP – In what can only be described as an unusual intervention, President Joe Biden has weighed in on the state of Britain’s economy while in an ice cream shop.

Biden says the economic turmoil following the UK government’s mini-budget was “predictable”.

Speaking in Oregon, Biden was asked by reporters about the PM’s attempt to boost growth with unfunded tax cuts.

To this, the president replied: “Well, it’s predictable. I wasn’t the only one that thought it was a mistake.”

He continued, adding “I think that the idea of cutting taxes on the super wealthy at a time when – anyway, I just think – I disagreed with the policy. But that’s up to Great Britain to make that judgment, not me.”

Biden has previously been criticised for the way he handles U.S.-UK relations. Some believe he gives preferential treatment to his transatlantic relationships in Dublin, Paris and Berlin.

While in the ice cream shop, Biden was also asked about the state of the global economy.

The President answered: “I’m not concerned about the strength of the dollar. I’m concerned about the rest of the world. Our economy is strong as hell.”
