The White House on Thursday signaled President Joe Biden has no immediate plans to roll back his executive order restricting asylum applications even as southern border crossings have dipped to Trump-era levels.
President Biden says he has "never once spoken to the chairman of the fed since I became president," despite a May 2022 meeting with Jerome Powell.
Biden spoke a day after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates a half-point, an important marker that suggested a shift from fighting inflation to helping economic stability. And the president seized upon the cut — bigger than many economists predicted — as a sign the economy was moving in the right direction.
Biden clearly linked the aftermath of the pandemic – with shipping lanes clogged, goods scarce and people shut in and working remotely – to the economic problems he faced. But he also blamed Russian President Valdimir Putin’s 2023 invasion of neighboring Ukraine for driving up energy prices, adding to inflation.
The former president emphasized the words “a woman” by sitting up straight and putting both hands in front of him, lightly cupping the air.
