Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden will award the top US civilian honor Friday to a host of Democratic allies some six months before elections, including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi, secretary of state John Kerry and vice president Al Gore. The 19 winners of the Presidential Medal of Freedom also include Oscar-winning Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh, Olympic swimming champion Katie Ledecky and, posthumously, a Black civil rights leader who was murdered in 1963. The 81-year-old Biden, who faces a tough battle for reelection against Republican former president Donald Trump in November,...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden broke his silence Thursday on the student protests against Israel's war with Hamas but the US president faces a difficult balancing act to avoid hurting his reelection chances against Donald Trump. "There's the right to protest but not the right to cause chaos," the 81-year-old Democrat said in a televised address from the White House. Biden took a tough, law-and-order tone after police broke up some of the protests that have rocked US college campuses, even as he insisted the United States would not "squash dissent." "Vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shut...

"In fact, peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues. But neither are we a lawless country. We are a civil society and order must prevail," Biden added. Speaking just ho...

Candidate debates have been important milestones in US presidential elections for decades, helping make or break voters' opinions of the contestants' personal style and demeanor as much as their policy chops. But Biden's team has for months been non-committal about his willingness to participate in the tradition, which is us...

President Joe Biden signed the REPO Act alongside a $95 billion foreign aid bill that included $61 billion for Kyiv on April 24, setting the legal basis for liquidating immobilized Russian assets held in the U.S. Since the West froze around $300 billion belonging to the Russian Central Bank (CBR) at the start of the full-scale invasion, discussions among the G7 countries about what to do with the assets have been divisive. Some have argued that the liquidated assets ...
