Joe Biden

Joe Biden is the former President of the United States. He is newsworthy because policies enacted during his presidency continue to be relevant and debated in 2026. Specifically, the World Trade Organization (WTO) has recently ruled against the United States in a dispute brought by China regarding green energy subsidies introduced under Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The WTO found that large tax credits granted under the IRA were inconsistent with several WTO agreements. Additionally, a report has surfaced indicating that during Biden's administration in early 2024, US envoys to Israel blocked a warning about the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. These events highlight the lasting impact and ongoing scrutiny of decisions made during Biden's time in office, particularly concerning international trade and foreign policy.
