Joe Biden
Biden stands defiant on critical night — but gaffes mar fightback
WASHINGTON — Joe Biden took to the stage at his Thursday night press conference with everything on the line – his presidency, his re-election hopes, his political life.If those were the stakes, he barely acknowledged them at the hour-long session to mark the end of a Nato summit. He dismissed the concerns about his campaign that were posed again and again for a full hour by a room full of reporters and promised that he was fighting not for his legacy, but to finish the job he started when he took office in 2021.“If I slow down and can’t get the job done, that’s a sign I shouldn’t be doing it,” he said. “But there’s no indication of that yet.”Depending on perspective, it was either a sign of dogged determination or of a man in denial about how dire his situation has...

MG owner SAIC is one the car makers hardest hit by the new tariffs
EU hits Chinese electric cars with steep tariffs
BRUSSELS — The European Union has raised tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, as Brussels takes action to protect the bloc's motor industry.The new tariffs on individual manufacturers range from 17.4% to 37.6%, which is on top of a 10% duty that was already in place for all electric cars imported from China.This could raise the price of EVs across the EU, making them less affordable for European consumers.The move is also a major blow for Beijing, which is already in a trade war with Washington. The EU is the largest overseas market for China’s EV industry and the country is counting on high-tech products to help revive its flagging economy.EU officials say this rise in imports was boosted by "unfair subsidisation", which allowed China-made EVs to be sold at much lower...
