U.S. President Joe Biden will give a speech on the state of the traditional nation to both chambers of Congress this morning. We will follow the content of this article.
President Joe Biden speaks to Americans at a time when the nation is struggling out of a more than two – year corona pandemic and the economy is threatened by record high inflation.
At the same time, the president will have to outline his foreign policy agenda as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens to upset world peace and the balance of power.
According to preliminary information, Biden intends to emphasize the courage of the defenders of Ukraine and talk about the newly energized Western front, which has unilaterally imposed sanctions on Russia due to the attack and coordinated military assistance to Ukraine.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is also hampering the US economic recovery from the pandemic, for example in the form of ever-increasing energy price pressures.
The speech, estimated at about an hour, will begin in the U.S. Congress at 4 p.m.
