WASHINGTON â After a grim winter that saw the U.S. death toll from COVID-19 rise past half a million, President Joe Biden sought to foster â and benefit from â a national surge of optimism about the pandemic, the economy and the countryâs condition in a White House speech Thursday evening.
By May 1, restrictions on who can make a COVID-19 vaccine appointment will be lifted nationwide, Biden said. The current limitations no longer will be needed because vaccine supply will be adequate to meet demand. All American adults should be able to get at least a first shot by the end of May, officials said.
Britain is preparing to leave the European Union in March 2019. The complex negotiations have moved slowly and May s Cabinet seems deeply divided over how best to separate Britain from the 28-nation bloc.
Trump expressed annoyance with EU trade policy: We cannot get our product in, he said. It s very, very tough. And yet, they send their product to us no taxes, very little taxes.
He says his problems with the EU may morph into something very big from a trade standpoint.
In the interview with journalist Piers Morgan, Trump has high praise for French President Emmanuel Macron. He s a great guy, Trump says. His wife is fantastic. I like them a lot. You know, we had dinner at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and everything was closed.
