US President Joe Biden is under fire after commenting on the high-profile and heavily criticized “garbage” joke at Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Madison Square Garden during a video call with Latino voters.
When the conversation turned to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke at Trump’s rally, where he called Puerto Rico “an island of garbage,” Biden said Puerto Ricans in his home state of Delaware are “good, righteous people” and continued:
– The only rubbish I see floating around is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and un-American, he said.
The White House says that Biden spoke unclearly and that it was the joke about Puerto Rico itself that was meant and not Trump’s supporters.
Later, the president signed X:
“Earlier today, I referred to the hateful rhetoric spewed by Trump supporters at the Madison Square Garden rally as trash – which is the only word I think is reasonable to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s what I was referring to,” Biden writes.

In a statement of intent, Swedish Ikea promises to pay almost SEK 70 million to a fund for people who fell victim to the former East German dictatorship.
The furniture giant admitted after an independent investigation in 2012 that some of its suppliers had used political prisoners in the GDR as forced labor in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The person representing the victims says that Ikea’s commitment to support the fund is “an expression of a responsible approach to the dark chapters of the company’s history”.
– We deeply regret that products for Ikea were also produced by political prisoners, says Walter Kadnar, head of Ikea in Germany.

Defeated independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is denied by the Supreme Court to remove himself from the ballots in the swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin.
Kennedy has already been removed from the ballots in other key states after dropping out in favor of Donald Trump. This is because a third candidate can influence the election result in an even situation.
At the same time, Kennedy has tried to get his name on the ballots in other states where his participation is not expected to have any impact on the outcome of the election. Last month, the Supreme Court denied him a place on the ballot in New York.
