5 protesters arrested in Charlotte ahead of Republican convention | TheHill – The Hill

Five protesters were arrested in Charlotte, N.C. Saturday evening amid protests in the city against the Republican National Convention.

The Associated Press reported that demonstrators were arrested on a variety of protest-related charges as the demonstrations continued for a second night in the city where GOP officials will meet this week to officially nominate President TrumpDonald John TrumpTwo ‘The Apprentice’ producers helping with Republican National Convention About 70,000 lives could be saved in near future if people wear masks: researchers Trump issues disaster declaration for California as wildfires rage MORE for reelection.

One person was reportedly arrested for possession of a weapon at a protest after officers found a firearm in their possession. At least three others were arrested for assaulting police and refusing lawful orders, authorities said.

Pepper spray was used in several instances, according to police, including one incident in which a protester allegedly approached police threateningly while brandishing a pipe.

Demonstrators were heard chanting “no RNC in CLT,” using an acronym to refer to the city, as well as repeating “Black Lives Matter.”

Several people were also arrested during Friday’s protests, according to the AP.

GOP figures are not scheduled to speak from the city directly due to ongoing concerns across the country about the spread of COVID-19, and will instead deliver addresses remotely. Trump plans to accept the nomination on Thursday at The White House.

Who will be impacted by federal vaccine mandates in eastern Idaho? – East Idaho News
Who will be impacted by federal vaccine mandates in eastern Idaho? – East Idaho News

IDAHO FALLS — President Joe Biden’s new national COVID-19 vaccine mandates will mean changes for some eastern Idaho employees.

Biden’s order mandates vaccines for everyone at businesses employing more than 100 workers. As an alternative, workers will be able to show a negative result from a COVID-19 test at least once a week. Federal employees and their contractors won’t have the choice to get tested. Based on an executive order, those employees will have to get vaccinated or face losing their jobs.

The biggest impact in eastern Idaho will likely be felt at Idaho National Laboratory, which employs thousands of federal workers and contractors.

“Consistent with the administration’s Sept. 9 executive order, beginning Nov. 19, Idaho National Laboratory will require all staff members and many of its subcontractors to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19,” INL Director John Wagner said in a statement. “This decision reflects our core value of safety. It reflects our desire to protect vulnerable populations. As a leader in the state of Idaho and a national laboratory that changes the world through great science, it reflects our willingness to use the best scientific data available to protect our staff and achieve our missions.”

The Idaho National Laboratory employs about 5,200 people. INL spokeswoman Sarah Neumann said 69% of the employees are already vaccinated against COVID-19.

Not everyone at the lab was happy with that stance. A large number of INL employees and its contract workers met Thursday night at Community Park in Idaho Falls to sign a petition against the new mandate.

“There (are) multiple reasons for not wanting to get the vaccine, all of them are legitimate,” said Nicholas Christiansen, an INL employee who organized the petition. “There are multiple reasons for getting the vaccine and all of them are legitimate. What it boils down to is nobody has the right to tell you what you have to put into your body and that should never be a condition of employment.”

As of Monday afternoon, the petition had gathered about 385 signatures and Christiansen said more were coming in by the hour.

“We acknowledge the executive order and the constraints that BEA and INL face because of it,” Christensen said. “We believe these mandates to be unconstitutional and an egregious overreach by the executive branch of government. We are asking INL management to delay implementation of the executive order until such time as it is reviewed for constitutionality by a federal judge and to engage with employees in productive forums to find alternatives to vaccination.”

It’s not just the Idaho National Laboratory that is faced with mandated vaccines. For private companies employing more than 100 workers, Biden said the mandates will come through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It is not yet fully clear as to what the ramifications from OSHA will be, but The National Law Review reports officials could fine $13,653 per violation, the maximum established by law.

EastIdahoNews.com reached out to several local employers with over 100 employees but none returned requests for comment.

Biden’s directives also said if hospitals want to treat patients on Medicare and Medicaid, all healthcare workers at the facilities must be vaccinated. Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Coleen Niemann said as of now the hospital does not require employees to get vaccinated, but it is highly encouraged. Niemann said she was not sure how Biden’s order will impact the hospital’s policy.

OSHA jurisdiction does not extend to Idaho and local government employees unlike 22 other states with OSHA-approved State Plans.

Idaho Falls city spokesman Bud Cranor said the city is evaluating what President Biden’s announcement means for city employees. Cranor said city attorneys are reviewing the matter and looking to seek guidance from the Idaho state government.

Gov. Brad Little has been outspoken against Biden’s executive orders and mandates. Little said he believes government should stay out of decisions involving employers and employees as much as possible.

“The State of Idaho is exploring legal action to stop President Biden’s unprecedented government overreach into the private sector with his new COVID-19 plan,” Little said in a news release. “I am working closely with my legal counsel and Attorney General Lawrence Wasden on legal options to protect the rights of business owners and their employees.”

A spokesman for Wasden’s office declined to comment on Monday.

RELATED | Idaho enacts crisis hospital care standards amid COVID surge

While Idaho has faced opposition to vaccines and other COVID-19 measures since the start of the pandemic, the population has not been immune to the virus. The Associated Press reported last week “crisis standards of care” have been implemented for the Gem State’s northern hospitals. Crisis Standards of care come when there are more coronavirus patients than medical providers can handle.

“We have reached an unprecedented and unwanted point in the history of our state,” Little said in an Idaho Department of Health and Welfare news release. “We have taken so many steps to avoid getting here, but yet again we need to ask more Idahoans to choose to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. More Idahoans need to choose to receive the vaccine so we can minimize the spread of the disease and reduce the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations, many of which involve younger Idahoans and are preventable with safe and effective vaccines.”

Between the Eastern Idaho Public Health and Southeastern Public Health district, the IDHW reports 47% of those 12 years old and older have been fully vaccinated. An additional 6% of the population has received just one dose of the two-dose vaccines.

Tornado rips through Arkansas, part of Illinois, leaving one dead in nursing home – New York Post
Tornado rips through Arkansas, part of Illinois, leaving one dead in nursing home – New York Post

A deadly tornado ripped through Arkansas and into part of Illinois on Friday night, leaving at least one person dead inside a nursing home, reports said.

At least 20 people were trapped inside the nursing home in Monette, Ark., after the twister struck. One person was reported killed, five others were injured, according to Marvin Day, the Craighead County judge.

The tornado struck the Monette Manor at around 8:15 p.m. and a search and rescue team was called shortly after to help those trapped in the building, Day told The Post.

Upon entering the building, first responders discovered one person dead and five others with serious injuries, he said.

“The building has been cleared,” Day said.

Earlier reports said that two people had died in the nursing home. Officials were working early Saturday to relocate residents to a safer location.

Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said in a tweet at around 9:30 that “a tornado has struck in Mississippi County” and “first responders are on the scene.”

The severe weather system moved north into Illinois and devastated an Amazon distribution center in Edwardsville, Ill.

Multiple workers were trapped inside the building after a “structural collapse,” according to Fox 2 in Illinois. Family members rushed to the site of the Amazon warehouse, hoping their loved ones were safe.

“He was on the phone with me while it was happening,” Aisha White told KMOV while waiting outside the building. “The tornado was hitting the back of the building, the trucks were coming in, I told him to jump out the truck and duck. We watched the building go up, stuff hitting the cars, I told him I was on my way.”

The tornado or series of twisters also reportedly touched in the towns of Mayfield and Benton, Kentucky.

According to WPSD-TV, the courthouse in Mayfield, Ky was completely destroyed or severely damaged.

The National Weather Service issued tornado warnings throughout the region as the deadly weather system continued its pace northward.

Temblor sacudió a Cali y Valle del Cauca en la madrugada de este sábado – Noticias Caracol
Temblor sacudió a Cali y Valle del Cauca en la madrugada de este sábado – Noticias Caracol

El movimiento telúrico tuvo su epicentro a 25 kilómetros al noreste del municipio de Ginebra, según el Servicio Geológico Colombiano.

La entidad indicó que el sismo se registró a las 5:06 de la mañana de este sábado 29 de abril y presentó una magnitud de 4.6 grados.

“El hospital se nos reportó, no tiene ninguna fisura. Lo mismo la Alcaldía, ya hizo el recorrido. Lo mismo las inspecciones de Policía”, aseguró Jorge Eliécer García, coordinador para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres en Ginebra.

El funcionario agregó que, después de los primeros reportes que indicaban total normalidad, se conoció que algunas casas resultaron averiadas con afectaciones muy pequeñas. 

Los usuarios en las redes sociales informaron que se sintió en municipios como Cali, Palmira, Buga, Tuluá y Roldanillo. A muchos les interrumpió el sueño.

Aunque las autoridades y organismos de socorro no reportaron emergencias en el departamento más allá de algunas viviendas con afectaciones leves, el temblor no solo hizo madrugar a muchos, sino que también provocó susto en algunos sectores de la población, como en el caso de Cali.

“Se hizo un barrido por la ciudad y hubo susto, personas de copropiedades bajaron a zonas de encuentro, pero no hay daños ni lesionados reportados”, afirmó Óscar Orejuela, subsecretario para la Gestión del Riesgo en Cali.

El Servicio Geológico Colombiano informó que el sismo también se sintió en los departamentos de Risaralda, Cauca, Huila, Quindío, Tolima, Antioquia y Caldas.

La increíble historia de Antonio Vicente, el hombre al que tildaban de loco y que plantó su propia selva – BBC Mundo
La increíble historia de Antonio Vicente, el hombre al que tildaban de loco y que plantó su propia selva – BBC Mundo

A sus casi 84 años, Vicente todavía sube hasta las partes de más altas de su selva para mantener los senderos limpios.

Sus vecinos lo tildaban de loco.

¿A quién sino se le ocurriría comprar un trozo de tierra despejada a unos 200 km de Sao Paulo, Brasil, y empezar a plantar árboles?

“Cuando empecé a plantar, la gente me decía: ‘No vas a poder comer las semillas, porque la planta tarda 20 años en dar frutos”, le cuenta Antonio Vicente a Gibby Zobel, reportero de la BBC.


“Yo les decía: ‘Voy a plantar estas semillas, porque alguien plantó las que estoy comiendo ahora. Así que las plantaré para que otros las coman'”.

Vicente, a punto de cumplir 84 años, compró su terreno en 1973, una época en la que el gobierno militar ofrecía facilidades de crédito para invertir en tecnología agrícola, con la intención impulsar la agricultura.

La Amazonía cumple un rol vital en regular el clima del planeta.

Pero su idea, era exactamente la opuesta.

Criado en una familia numerosa de campesinos, Vicente veía con preocupación cómo la expansión de los campos destruía los bosques y la flora y fauna local, y cómo la falta de árboles afectaba los recursos hídricos.

“Cuando yo era niño, los campesinos cortaban los árboles para crear pastizales y por el carbón. El agua se secó y ya no regresó”, le dice Vicente al reportero de BBC Outlook.

“Yo pensé: ‘el agua es valiosa, nadie fabrica agua y la población no deja de crecer. ¿Qué va a pasar? Nos quedaremos sin agua'”.

Los bosques son fundamentales para la conservación del agua porque absorben y retienen agua en sus raíces. Además, evitan que se erosionen los suelos.

Recuperar el bosque

Cuando tenía 14 años se mudó a la ciudad, donde trabajó como herrero.

Con el capital que hizo vendiendo su negocio pudo comprar unas 30 hectáreas en una región de montañas bajas, cerca de San Francisco Xavier, una localidad de unos 5.000 habitantes.

La vida en la ciudad no fue fácil, recuerda.

Para Vicente, los árboles que plantó son como su familia. Aquí lo vemos junto al primer árbol que plantó: un castaño.

En un momento “terminé viviendo bajo un árbol porque no podía pagar la renta. Me bañaba en el río y vivía bajo el árbol rodeado de zorros y ratas. Juntando muchas hojas me hice un cama y dormía allí”, le cuenta Vicente a Zobel.

“Pero nunca tuve hambre. Comía sándwiches de banana de desayuno, almuerzo y cena”.

Tras regresar, empezó a plantar, uno por uno, cada uno de los árboles que hoy forman este bosque lluvioso tropical de cerca de 50.000 árboles.

A contracorriente

La labor de Vicente iba en contra de lo que ocurría a su alrededor: durante los últimos 30 años en que reforestó su terreno, cerca de 183.00 hectáreas de bosque atlántico en el estado Sao Paulo fueron deforestadas para dar lugar a la agricultura.

Image caption

Aunque no alcanzó los niveles de 2004, la deforestación está creciendo nuevamente en Brasil.

Según según la Fundación Bosque Atlántico SOS y el Instituto Nacional de Brasil para la Investigación Espacial (INPE), el bosque Atlántico cubría originalmente el 69% del estado de Sao Paulo. Hoy día, sólo queda el 14%.

El problema es más amplio: si bien los niveles de deforestación no son lo que fueron cuando alcanzaron su máximo en 2004, cuando se destruyeron 27.000 hectáreas de árboles, estos niveles están comenzando nuevamente a incrementarse en Brasil.

Amazonía: la deforestación amenaza la mitad de las especies de árboles

Entre agosto de 2015 y julio de 2016, por ejemplo, se destruyeron 8.000 hectáreas de selva. Esto representa un 29% más que el año anterior y el nivel más elevado desde 2008, según el INPE.

El regreso de los animales y el agua

Una pintura colgada en la pared de la casa de Vicente sirve de recordatorio de los cambios que ha conseguido con su trabajo a pulmón.

“En 1973 no había nada, como puedes ver. Era todo un pastizal. Mi casa es más hermosa que lo que ves aquí, pero hoy no podrías tomar una fotos desde ese ángulo porque la tapan los árboles, que son tan grandes”, dice.

Y a esa selva han regresado muchos animales.

“Hay tucanes, todo tipo de aves, un gran roedor llamado apaca, ardillas, lagartijas, zarigüeyas, e incluso están regresando los jabalíes”.

“Tenemos un pequeño jaguar y un ocelote, ¡que se come todas las gallinas!”, dice riendo.

Pero, y más importante aún, han regresado los cursos de agua. Cuando compró el terreno había sólo una fuente, hoy hay cerca de 20.

‘It’s a temporary timeout’: Trump and Xi agree to negotiations, but offer no clear path to end US-China trade war – CNBC
‘It’s a temporary timeout’: Trump and Xi agree to negotiations, but offer no clear path to end US-China trade war – CNBC

The United States and China have been here before.

After threatening to impose potentially devastating tariffs, President Donald Trump pulled back in the wake of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit in Japan on Saturday.

Trump and Xi, who both tout their strong personal relationship, reached a similar agreement at the previous G-20 summit in Argentina at the end of the last year.

But those talks ultimately failed and tariffs today are much higher than they were even as recently as early May.

And if history is any guide to the future, the gentlemen’s agreement struck between the leaders of the world’s two largest economies over the weekend in Osaka offers no clear path to rolling back tariffs and ending a trade war that threatens to tip the global economy into recession.

“It’s a temporary timeout,” Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group, told CNBC. “I don’t see any path to a deal and we’re stuck with 25% tariffs on $250 billion of goods.”

Boockvar isn’t alone. The Eurasia Group, for its part, sees only a 45% chance that a trade deal gets done this year.

And Trump is no rush. The president said as much after departing the G-20 summit and made clear that the tariffs currently in place are unlikely to be reduced any time soon. 

In a Fox Business News interview before the G-20, the president he was “very happy with where we are now, ” claiming that the U.S. is  “taking in a fortune, and frankly [it’s] not a very good thing for China, but it is a good thing for us. “

The business community by and large disagrees.

More than 600 U.S. companies, including Target and Walmart, had urged Trump not to impose additional tariffs, warning that such a move could cost 2 million American jobs.

And while business groups Saturday welcomed the renewed talks, they made clear they’re still anxiously waiting for a final deal. According to Boockvar, there’s little reason to celebrate.

“If I’m a CEO, waiting on how this weekend was going to go, do I feel any better? If I’m in manufacturing, maybe I feel a touch better it’s not worse in the short term, but I still have to deal with this 25% tariff and the threat of more tariffs hanging over,” he said.

Fair in Algiers will have over 1000 exhibitors – Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)
Fair in Algiers will have over 1000 exhibitors – Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA)

Algiers – The 47th edition of the International Fair of Algiers (IFA) will have the participation of 1,045 local and foreign companies. The exhibit will be held from May 28 to June 2nd at the Algiers Exhibition Centre in Algeria’s capital.

APS

Fair will have its 47th edition

 The event will have 453 national and 592 foreign companies from 37 countries, according to Rachid Khiar, representative of the Algerian Company of Fairs and Exports (Safex, in the French acronym), the fair organizers. The theme of this edition is “Strong and serene Algeria”.

The United States are this year’s guest of honour and around 80 North-American exhibitors operating in the transport, technology, agriculture and pharmaceutical industry are expected.

Among the countries which will have representatives in the fair are also Argentina, Cuba, Venezuela, Turkey, Germany, France, Portugal, Great Britain, Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Tunisia, Palestine, Libya, Kuwait, Jordan, Sudan, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Senegal, Cameroon, Spain, Italy, India, Iran, South Africa, Belgium, Ukraine, Burkina Faso, Yemen and Mali.

“The International Fair of Algiers is a regional and national showcase to present the national production and discover foreign products with a view to using them in the achievement of the different economic and social development programmes of Algeria,” said the secretary general of the Trade Ministry, Aïssa Zelmati.

In his opinion, the choice of the US as guest of honour in the fair is the result of solid economic and trade relations between the two countries and the undeniable presence of North-American stands in the IFA even during hard times.

“We hope that the participating American companies will forge partnerships with their Algerian counterparts to develop economic and trading cooperation between the two countries,” said Zelmati.

The US ambassador to Algiers, Henry Ensher, said, for his part, there is a real potential in developing bilateral relations and the strengthening of cooperation beyond the oil industry.

“We will participate in the trade event to intensify and strengthen trading cooperation between Algeria and the US,” said the diplomat, adding that the forthcoming visit of the US Secretary of State of Energy “shows the importance of relations between the two countries.”

During the fair, a memorandum of understanding in pharmaceutical industry and other agreement between Algerian and American companies will be signed. Conferences, trade meetings and cultural events will be organized on the sidelines of the trade event.

Qué significa el "qué bolá" con el que Barack Obama saludó a Cuba en su visita – BBC Mundo
Qué significa el "qué bolá" con el que Barack Obama saludó a Cuba en su visita – BBC Mundo

Menos de cinco minutos después de que el Air Force One, con Barack Obama y su familia a bordo, tocara suelo cubano, un mensaje apareció en la cuenta de Twitter del presidente estadounidense.

“¿Que Bolá Cuba? Acabo de aterrizar con el deseo de conocer y escuchar directamente a los cubanos”, es el tuit que se lee en la cuenta oficial del mandatario.

Y antes, en una escena que grabó con el famoso humorista cubano Pánfilo, también usó esa frase cubanísima para saludar a su interlocutor.

Pero, ¿qué significa ese “qué bolá” que Obama usa para acercarse a los cubanos?

BBC Mundo recorrió las calles de La Habana para que sean los cubanos los que expliquen el significado.

“Asere”

En La bodeguita del medio, la célebre cantina famosas por sus mojitos, Orlando Laguardia, el “poeta de La Bodeguita”, le cuenta a BBC Mundo algo más del significado del “qué bolá”.

Image caption

BBC Mundo visitó la famosa cantina La bodeguita del medio para investigar el significado de “qué bola”.

“Es una expresión de pueblo que significa ‘¿en qué andas?’, ‘¿qué vas a hacer?, ‘¿cómo vas a divertirte?”, explica el hombre de 84 años mientras escribe en una máquina de escribir uno de los poemas que vende a los turistas que visitan el restaurante y bar.

Los cubanos hablan fuerte y un poco rápido si los comparamos con otros países de América Latina.

Y son famosos por ser efusivos y alegres en su trato interpersonal.

“¿Asere, qué bolá?”, grita un muchacho en la pizzería frente al hotel Habana Libre Tryp cuando identifica a uno de sus conocidos.

Barack Obama busca maneras de acercarse a los cubanos.

Mientras el amigo le devuelve muy alto un “¡El Johnny! ¿Qué bolá, asere?”, y estrechan la mano.

Los saludos así se repiten en las escuelas, universidades, centros de trabajo y cualquier otro lugar público.

“Asere” significa socio, hermano o amigo y “qué bolá” es una frase que puede significar ¿cómo estás?, ¿qué tal? o ¿qué novedades tienes?

La versatilidad es una de las virtudes de frases y modismos cubanos como “olvídate de eso”, “no es fácil” o el multipropósito verbo “resolver”, que algunos cubanos pronuncian con una “L” al final.

Image caption

La primera visita de un presidente de EE.UU. a Cuba en 88 años causó gran entusiasmo entre algunos cubanos.

El “qué bolá” no sólo les pertenece a los jóvenes cubanos, sino que lo comprenden casi todos en la isla.

Tal vez por eso Obama eligió esa frase para aproximarse a los cubanos con más naturalidad.

Aunque para algunos puede ser visto como demasiado coloquial e incluso vulgar.

Para, literalmente, hablarles en su idioma.

Why would AG Barr prevaricate on the Mueller report? – Washington Examiner
Why would AG Barr prevaricate on the Mueller report? – Washington Examiner

Over the past 24 hours, a new line of attack has emerged from liberals upset about how the Mueller investigation appears to be turning out. Some of them are livid at Attorney General William Barr’s summary of the Mueller report, asking: How can we trust a Trump appointee to fairly represent its findings?

If Mueller found a shred of evidence proving that Trump conspired or coordinated with a dictatorial foreign adversary to compromise the basis of our republic, I’d want the facts unearthed and perhaps Trump bounced out of office in a heartbeat. But I’m also a patriot who would prefer that an elected president — even one I often disagree with — is not a traitor and is not removed from office in an angry coup.

So sure, it’s worth taking Barr’s letter with a grain of salt. But we also have to be honest about how limited this caveat truly is.

Barr’s hands were pretty much tied when it came to how much time he had to release his summary. The media spent the better part of two years promising that the Mueller report would spell the end of the Trump administration, and if Barr held on to it for too long without disclosing anything, allegations of a cover-up would surely have emerged.

And this is not Barr’s first rodeo. He’s hardly a Trump shill — he backed “Jeb!” in the primaries. Barr cut his teeth as a tough-on-crime prosecutor during the first Bush administration, first as assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel, then as deputy AG.

Bush then appointed Barr as his AG. Congress unanimously approved his confirmation in hearings described by the LA Times as “unusually placid.” He followed his tenure at the Justice Department with the standard corporate-counsel college circuit and led a relatively uncontroversial life until Trump flailed in his search to replace former AG Jeff Sessions.

Trump reportedly chose Barr specifically because Barr’s establishment credentials would make his confirmation possible. Until then, polarizing figures such as Pam Bondi and Chris Christie were being floated by the Trump team. Barr was the safe, “cuckservative” pick, the one who had been just critical enough of the Mueller team to garner Trump’s respect but not so sycophantic as to lose pivotal votes from purple state Senate democrats like Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

So we have an establishment intelligence figure more detested by Sen. Ron Paul, R-Ky., than by Joe Biden, who lauded Barr during his AG confirmation hearings. And perhaps even more importantly, we have an establishment intelligence figure who’s close, personal friends with Robert Mueller himself.

Sure, Barr could have sugarcoated the Mueller report in his summary with the intention of never revealing it to the public, perhaps equivocating around Trump’s malfeasance in the bet that no one in the entire Justice Department would leak Barr’s embellishments to the press. But doesn’t that seem like a bit of a gamble? Mueller would know if Barr is misrepresenting the truth, and surely that would make their wives’ Bible study quite awkward.

And isn’t that reputational risk not justifiable, considering the reward would be to protect a president who hasn’t proven deeply pivotal in Barr’s career? If anything, Barr did Trump more of a favor in agreeing to take over the messiest department of his presidency than the reverse. It’s not as though, prior to December, Barr’s career wasn’t already a notable success.

Again, anything is possible, and there’s nothing wrong with a little skepticism when the stakes are as high as they are with the Mueller report. But the notion that Barr had ample motive to spin the truth for Trump isn’t just misguided. It’s downright laughable.

Trump rips GOP opponents

Pundits say they’re backing off

Former President Donald Trump made a surprise appearance at a dog rescue fundraiser being held at Mar-a-Lago on Friday — a rare sighting of the 45th president in post-White House life.

WPTV caught images of Trump, sporting a “Make America Great Again” hat, making a quick appearance at a fundraiser for a rescue mission to remove dogs from the meat market trade in China.

GRAHAM BACKS LARA TRUMP FOR SENATE IN NC, AS WALKER HITS BACK 

“So, I didn’t exactly prepare for this,” Trump added, saying that he had been walking by and heard people yelling. “But I was walking by and I hear everybody screaming in the ballroom and I said ‘what’s going on?’ and they said ‘we’re going to help dogs’ and that’s OK with me.”

He praised Lara Trump, who was in attendance, and added: “I don’t know, you’re running for the Senate?”

“What you’re doing is so important and so great, and so important and I’m with you 100%, and we had many meetings in the White House and the Oval Office, having to do with saving and helping dogs and that’s what we want to do,” Trump said in images and video caught by WPTV reporter T.A. Walker.

He said “tremendous progress had been made.”

A source familiar with Trump’s schedule confirmed that he attended the event to Fox News, and the group running the fundraiser — Big Dog Ranch Rescue — issued a statement about the event.

“President Trump visited the event and thanked those attending for their support in helping Big Dog Ranch Rescue save 47,000 dogs to date,” spokesman Chase Scott told Fox News. “The crowd responded with a standing ovation for the President, Lara Trump and Lauree Simmons for the work they did to help pass the first national animal anti-cruelty bill in U.S. history.”

“The fundraiser was sold out and so was spread over 2 days to allow for social distancing and raises funds to save abused, abandoned and injured dogs and to bring dogs from China who would otherwise be victims of the horrific dog meat trade,” he said. 

LARA TRUMP MULLS SENATE BID IN NATIVE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA

Trump has released a number of statements since leaving office in January and made his first major public speech earlier this month at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) — where he tore into President Biden’s time in office.

Trump is being closely watched for signs of a potential 2024 run, something he hinted at during his CPAC speech.

Lara Trump has been tied to a potential North Carolina Senate run to replace outgoing Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C.

Married to Eric Trump, Lara was a senior adviser of the then-president’s 2020 re-election campaign. She was born and raised in North Carolina, although she, Eric and their children currently live in the northern suburbs of New York City.

In November and December, Lara Trump hinted at the possibility of running for the Senate, including retweeting a poll that suggested she would be the GOP front-runner if she entered the race.

Video | Padre de Spear: No pude sacarla de Venezuela – Últimas Noticias

ÚN.- “No hay palabras para describir el dolor, ésto es algo que nunca debió haber ocurrido. Ella amaba a Venezuela, no pude en ningún momento sacarla de allá a pesar de que le dije que el país estaba inseguro. De hecho, la habían asaltado anteriormente alrededor de cinco o seis veces”, dijo conmovido Rafael Spear, padre de la actriz y ex Miss Venezuela 2004 asesinada en un atraco junto con su pareja, la noche de este lunes, en la autopista Valencia Puerto Cabello. 

En entrevista con las cadenas de noticias Univisión y CNN, relató que se enteraron de la muerte de su hija, Mónica Spear a través de noticias de la televisión. “Nosotros tenemos la costumbre de que el televisor en casa se enciende siempre con un canal de noticias de Venezuela, y allí fue cuando vimos que habían asesinado a nuestra hija” expresó. 

“Este es un dolor que no se lo deseamos a ninguna familia. De verdad cómo alguien tan hermoso, tan saludable, y que de repente de la nada desaparezca, por causa de un pillo, de unos hampones”, expresó acompañado de su esposa y otros familiares desde su casa en Florida, Estados Unidos.

Los familiares de Mónica Spear  partirán a Venezuela donde se ocuparán del sepelio de su hija, debido a que las leyes venezolanas exigen que todo persona muerta por asesinato debe ser enterrada en territorio nacional. 

Sobre cómo ocurrieron los hechos donde murió Spear, su padre relató lo que conocía hasta el momento: “Ellos, Mónica y su pareja, aparentemente se resistieron, los balearon y los asesinaron vilmente. Espero que la justicia divina tome cartas en el asunto”.

El padre de Spear describió a su hija como “una mujer sencillamente maravillosa, de mucho empuje, de muchos valores, muy amorosa, muy caritativa, de gran corazón”.

Esta es la imagen que tenían las autoridades de Paul Erven Jackson que corresponde al tiempo en que fue capturado en 1990.

Un hombre sospechoso de secuestrar y torturar a dos mujeres en el estado de Oregon, Estados Unidos, fue arrestado en México en la madrugada de este martes.

Hasta ahí, una noticia policial que podría pasar como cualquier otra. Lo curioso es que Paul Erven Jackson, el nombre del sospechoso, había pasado los últimos 24 años huyendo de la justicia estadounidense.

Lea: Intensa búsqueda de dos reos peligrosos tras cinematográfica fuga de cárcel de EE.UU.

Jackson fue arrestado por las autoridades de migración en un hotel de la ciudad mexicana de Guadalajara, donde se había mudado con una nueva identidad.

Y aunque había evadido el cerco policial durante las últimas dos décadas y media, fue después de que la cadena de noticias CNN publicara un reportaje, titulado “La cacería”, que alguien dio pistas que condujeron a su captura.

Dos hermanos

De acuerdo al reporte de la policía, Jackson y su hermano secuestraron y abusaron de dos mujeres a finales de los años 80.

Ese mismo año ambos fueron arrestados, pero 12 meses después desaparecieron sin dejar rastro cuando se les dio un permiso especial para visitar a su madre fuera de la prisión.

Su hermano Robert se entregó a la policía en 2006 y fue sentenciado a 108 años de prisión por secuestro, violación, sodomía y abuso sexual.

Mientras tanto Jackson aparecía en los medios con el rótulo del hombre “más buscado en Estados Unidos”, hasta su captura esta semana.

Esta es la imágen de Paul Jackson en el momento de su captura ocurrida este lunes.

Ahora espera en una prisión de Los Ángeles la acusación formal por parte de la Justicia de su país.

“Siempre lo perseguimos con todos los recursos que teníamos, así que estamos bastante felices de haber logrado su captura“, dijo el subjefe del comisario de Estados Unidos, Eric Wahlstrom.

Lo único que se sabe hasta ahora de su vida en México es que vivía bajo el nombre de Paul Bennet Hamilton.

Las acusaciones sobre Jackson indican que en 1988, cuando tenía 20 años, secuestró a una mujer y la llevo a la casa de su hermano en la ciudad de Portland.

La mujer testificó tiempo después de sufrió abusos durante una semana entera. Acusó a los dos hermanos de encadenarla a una cama y tratarla como una esclava sexual.

Dos años después, los hermanos volvieron a atacar. Pero la segunda víctima, una menor de 17 de años, escapó de su cautiverio y logró avisar a las autoridades.

La jugada de Putin de perdonar la deuda de Cuba – BBC Mundo
La jugada de Putin de perdonar la deuda de Cuba – BBC Mundo

Putin ha intentado relanzar sus relaciones con Cuba, un aliado de vieja data.

El presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin, aterrizó este viernes en La Habana, Cuba, pocos días después de que el parlamento de su país, la Duma, anunciara una decisión que según el mandatario no tiene “precedentes”: condonar el 90% de la deuda cubana con Moscú.

El total de la deuda, procedente en su mayoría de préstamos contraídos en la época soviética, asciende a US$35.000 millones. El país caribeño, por tanto, sólo deberá encargarse de los restantes US$3.500 millones, que según Moscú serán invertidos en proyectos conjuntos de inversión en la isla.

Putin explicó, en una entrevista que dio antes de su viaje a las agencias Itar-Tass y Prensa Latina, que la decisión es una prueba de la “naturaleza estratégica” de la relación bilateral, que está fundamentada en “una larga tradición de amistad fuerte, así como una experiencia rica y en muchos casos única de cooperación fructífera”.

Esa cooperación entre dos países que fueron aliados clave durante la Guerra Fría se manifestará en la visita de Putin a través de una serie de acuerdos comerciales en áreas como la exploración petrolífera.

Pero al condonar la deuda, Putin también está enviando un mensaje político sobre su alianza con La Habana, en una época en que Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea han tratado de aislar a Moscú por cuenta de su anexión de la península de Crimea y su política en Ucrania.

Pocos meses antes de este viaje, el canciller ruso Sergei Lavrov había viajado a la isla, donde agradeció el “firme apoyo” del gobierno cubano, que rechazó las sanciones impuestas por Occidente a Moscú.

“La visita de Putin a Cuba se inscribe en una política rusa más activa hacia América Latina, una política motivada por la búsqueda de nuevos balances en el equilibrio de poderes, ante los problemas que Rusia está experimentando en su vecindad”, le dijo a BBC Mundo Arturo López Levy, un analista cubano de la Facultad de Estudios Internacionales Joseph Korbel, en la Universidad de Denver.

Después de La Habana, Putin viajará a Argentina y Brasil, donde participará en una cumbre del grupo BRICS, que reúne a Brasil, China, India, Rusia y Sudáfrica.

Lea también: En plena crisis con Ucrania, ¿qué busca el canciller ruso en América Latina?

Asegurar mercados

Una de las razones por las que Rusia condonó la deuda cubana es para afianzar los lazos comerciales con la isla.

Putin explicó en su entrevista que el principal objetivo de la agenda bilateral es expandir las relaciones económicas, que se vieron afectadas tras el colapso de la Unión Soviética en los años 90.

El mandatario habló de “recuperar el terreno perdido” con Cuba y de llevar la cooperación “totalmente a un nuevo nivel” de la mano de proyectos económicos conjuntos. Esto se enmarca en la decisión de perdonarle a Cuba su deuda millonaria.

“Putin está tratando de asegurar mercados”, le dice a BBC Mundo Otto Raúl Tielemans, investigador del Consejo de Asuntos Hemisféricos (COHA, por sus siglas en inglés), un centro de estudios con sede en Washington.

Después de La Habana, Putin viajará a Brasil y Argentina.

“Al condonar el 90% de esa deuda, la administración cubana indudablemente será más amable con las empresas rusas”, agrega.

A corto plazo, Rusia está buscando explorar petróleo en las costas cubanas con acuerdos entre las empresas estatales rusas Rosneft y Zarubezhneft con la cubana Cupet.

Cuba calcula que tiene hasta 20.000 millones de barriles de petróleo en su lecho marino, si bien el Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos dice que serían más bien unos 4.600 millones, de acuerdo con la información publicada por la agencia de noticias Reuters.

Otros proyectos conjuntos, según explicó Putin, son la construcción de equipos de energía eléctrica rusos o el interés de empresas basadas en Moscú que se especializan en la producción de plástico, autopartes y maquinaria pesada para la industria ferroviaria.

Política

El otro lado de la moneda es que Moscú quiere señalar, al perdonar la deuda, que le interesa relanzar su relación con Cuba, como dice López Levy.

El analista explica que así como durante la Guerra Fría Cuba fue un “país bisagra” entre la Unión Soviética y los países del llamado Tercer Mundo, ahora, en un contexto diferente, puede servir de bisagra entre Rusia y algunos países en la región.

Los vínculos entre La Habana y Moscú son históricos, como evidencia esta foto de Fidel Castro y Nikita Jrushchov.

En particular, López Levy se refiere a los miembros de la Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra América (ALBA), que a su vez son importantes en la Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños (Celac), que fue fundada en 2010 como “alternativa” a la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) coordinada desde Washington.

El mismo Putin alabó, antes de llegar a La Habana, el interés de la Celac de buscar relaciones con Rusia y resaltó cómo esa entidad regional quiere convertirse en un foro relevante sin la “interferencia agresiva de fuerzas externas”.

Este interés ruso en Cuba, y de ahí a buena parte de América Latina, se enmarca en el contexto internacional creado por la crisis ucraniana de principios de año, que llevó a Washington y Bruselas a tratar de aislar política y económicamente a Moscú.

“De manera simbólica, si Rusia quiere tener un mayor peso en América Latina, empezará con los países que tienen relaciones pobres con Estados Unidos y que están algo aislados por cuenta de eso”, le dice a BBC Mundo Adam Isacson, analista de seguridad regional de la Oficina en Washington para América Latina (WOLA, por sus siglas en inglés), una organización no gubernamental basada en la capital estadounidense.

En ese contexto, agrega, “Cuba es el sine qua non“.

Por tanto, en la decisión rusa de perdonar la mayoría de la deuda cubana se juntan dos razones: un interés de fortalecer los lazos comerciales y una búsqueda de alianzas políticas renovadas.

En abril, el ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Rusia, Sergei Lavrov, se reunió con su contraparte cubana, Bruno Rodríguez.

¿Qué implica que grandes e influyentes países desconozcan la Constituyente de Maduro en Venezuela? – BBC Mundo
¿Qué implica que grandes e influyentes países desconozcan la Constituyente de Maduro en Venezuela? – BBC Mundo

Al menos una decena de países dijeron que no reconocerán los resultados de la Constituyente en Venezuela.

Por un lado, la “fiesta constituyente”. Por el otro, la cruda violencia en las protestas opositoras. Y mientras tanto, un pronunciamiento casi unánime de parte de miembros de la comunidad internacional: “Desconocemos la Constituyente en Venezuela”.

Este 30 de julio, el ansiado día que el gobierno de Nicolás Maduro celebró sus elecciones para una Asamblea Nacional Constituyente, se dio quizá el golpe internacional más duro que haya recibido la revolución bolivariana en sus 18 años en el poder.

El viernes fue Colombia, pero el domingo se añadieron Panamá, Perú, Argentina,Brasil, México, Costa Rica, Suiza, Chile, España y Estados Unidos a la lista de países que no reconocen los resultados de las elecciones para la Constituyente.

A ellos se suma el rechazo de la Organización de Estados Americanos, el Parlamento Europeo y decenas de organizaciones no gubernamentales que defienden los derechos humanos.

El domingo de elecciones ha sido el día con más muertes desde que comenzaron las protestas en abril.

Y está la posibilidad, reportada como un hecho en medios estadounidenses, de que el presidente de ese país, Donald Trump, imponga sanciones económicas a Venezuela, que depende de la exportación de petróleo a Estados Unidos.

No es usual que un país rechace el proceso electoral de otro, pero sí existe la figura de desconocer a un gobierno que se considera ilegítimo y estos pronunciamientos del domingo parecen un paso en ese sentido.

El resultado puede ser que la relación de Venezuela con estos países se rompa, lo que quizá no tenga efectos inmediatos en la política interna del país, pero sí en la economía de una nación que ya sufre una recesión de cuatro años y depende de las importaciones.

El petróleo ha sido el motor de la economía en Venezuela pero la baja en el precio internacional del crudo afectó gravemente al país.

Lo que dice el gobierno

El gobierno revolucionario ha llamado las recientes críticas desde el exterior como una nueva injerencia de la “derecha imperialista” en la política local.

Desde el golpe de Estado que sufrió Hugo Chávez en 2002, que el mandatario vio como un ataque auspiciado por Estados Unidos, la revolución ha visto cada reprimenda internacional como un intento de “invadir Venezuela” y hacerse de sus reservas de crudo, estimadas como las más grandes del mundo.

El gobierno, además, mantiene cierto apoyo de importantes potencias como China y Rusia y de decenas de países caribeños, así como de Nicaragua y Bolivia.

La gente en Venezuela debe hacer largas filas para conseguir alimentos en medio de la crisis económica que atraviesa el país.

Este domingo, el chavismo dijo no estar preocupado por los pronunciamientos en contra.

“Venezuela preside el grupo de Países No Alineados, son dos tercios del mundo”, dijo Jorge Rodríguez, influyente dirigente chavista, quien relativizó la importancia de los pronunciamientos.

Y puso el ejemplo del mandatario colombiano Juan Manuel Santos, que en las últimas semanas ha aseverado su posición contra Maduro: “Hoy votó más gente que la que eligió a Santos en Colombia”, aseguró.

Diosdado Cabello, otro peso pesado del chavismo, dijo que “lo que pasa es que la comunidad internacional está preocupada de que en sus países se levanten procesos revolucionarios como este”.

“En realidad (los que rechazan la Constituyente) son los gobiernos, no los pueblos. En Chile, en Ecuador, en Europa recibí mensajes de apoyo”, informó.

“Los gobiernos se ensañan con Venezuela porque acá hay un proyecto distinto”, concluyó, resaltando los programas sociales chavistas que según él no hay en otros países.

Colombia fue el primer país que mostró rechazo al resultado de los comicios en Venezuela.

Los argumentos para desconocer

Con un promedio de un muerto al día en cuatro meses de protestas opositoras, el rechazo hacia el gobierno de Maduro ha ido aumentando en los últimos meses.

Muchos, en coincidencia con la oposición venezolana, creen que la Constituyente puede “consolidar la dictadura” e “ilegalizar la disidencia”, profundizando la crisis económica que inició hace cuatro años.

Perú rompió relaciones en abril y este domingo dijo que “esta elección viola normas de la Constitución venezolana y contraviene la voluntad soberana del pueblo”.

Nikki Haley, embajadora de Estados Unidos ante las Naciones Unidas, aseguró el domingo que las elecciones son “fraudulentas” y “otro paso hacia la dictadura”.

Brasil, por su parte, opinó que la Constituyente es un “camino seguro para el agravamiento de la crisis” y una medida “que expone abiertamente la intención de Maduro de perpetuarse en el poder”.

Y así, uno a uno, se han ido acumulando los comunicados de países vecinos o importantes socios comerciales que rechazan la Constituyente.

Image caption

Las protestas a favor y en contra del gobierno de Maduro ocuparon las calles de Venezuela desde abril.

Lo que puede venir

La pregunta es qué implica realmente que un país esté aislado en el mundo globalizado de hoy en día.

Lo primero que habrá que ver, en especial si se producen las sanciones económicas al sector petrolero venezolano, es cómo reacciona el gobierno en su búsqueda de mayor apoyo y acuerdos comerciales con países como India, China y Rusia.

“Es la votación más grande que haya sacado la revolución bolivariana en toda la historia”: Maduro reacciona a los resultados de la Asamblea Constituyente

En este escenario muchos ponen el ejemplo de Cuba, que tras el embargo de Estados Unidos impuesto en 1960 vio cómo su economía, sobre todo después de la caída de su mayor auspiciante, la Unión Soviética, se fue al piso y millones de personas cayeron en la pobreza y sufrieron años de escasez.

Pero el aislamiento de Cuba no significó que el gobierno fuera menos popular internamente ni que la estabilidad política se fracturara. Al menos no del todo.

Y, de todas formas, hoy el mundo está más globalizado y los países se ven más afectados por lo que ocurre en el escenario internacional.

En eso, pocos países son como Venezuela, que si bien tiene un gobierno autodeclarado antiimperialista, es profundamente dependiente de lo que ocurre en otras naciones.

Los venezolanos votaron este domingo para elegir a los miembros que formarán la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente que reformará la Constitución.

El 70% de lo que consumen los venezolanos viene del exterior, el Estado tiene importante activos en el extranjero y el 95% de sus ingresos son de la venta petrolera.

Todos esos vínculos comerciales se ponen en riesgo cuando se rompen las relaciones de Venezuela con otros países.

Más rechazo de la comunidad internacional puede que no acabe con la crisis política y social del país. Incluso puede profundizarla.

Pero también puede conseguir que Maduro se sienta contra las cuerdas y acceda a lo que le piden la oposición y la comunidad internacional.

El mundo, en todo caso, tiene los ojos en Venezuela.

U.S. court temporarily allows Trump admin to resume returning asylum-seekers to Mexico – NBC News
U.S. court temporarily allows Trump admin to resume returning asylum-seekers to Mexico – NBC News

A federal appeals court in California took action Friday that would temporarily allow the Trump administration to return asylum seekers to Mexico.

The decision is in response to the Trump administration’s emergency motion filing from Thursday asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco to stop a nationwide injunction that would bar the government from continuing its policy of forcing migrants to wait in Mexico as their asylum cases play out.

The court asked that opposition to the emergency motion be filed by Tuesday, 9 a.m. local time.

The government’s motion said the injunction issued Monday by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Seeborg rested on “serious errors of law” and blocked an initiative “designed to address the dramatically escalating burdens of unauthorized migration.”

The administration had asked for an administrative stay that would take place immediately and remain in place while the court considers the issue of a longer stay while the appeals process plays out in a possibly months-long process.

The American Civil Liberties Union had asked the court earlier Friday to deny the emergency request that would keep in place the administration’s policy of returning asylum-seekers to Mexico while they wait for court dates.

In response to the judge’s decision Friday evening, Judy Rabinovitz, who argued the case for the ACLU, said, “this is just an interim step while the court considers the government’s stay request.”

“We’re very disappointed in the 9th Circuit’s decision and we hope that the stay will be short-lived,” Melissa Crow, senior supervising attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said Friday night. The group is part of the lawsuit seeking to stop the policy.

“The plaintiffs and others like them are very vulnerable to harm in Mexico and should be able to pursue their asylum claims in the United States,” she added.

The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the decision.

The organizations seeking to stop the policy of returning migrants to Mexico said in a brief earlier Friday that the government’s request should be denied and that there was not “sufficient urgency” to warrant an administrative stay.

“The government should not be allowed to manufacture the need for an emergency administrative stay by failing to timely file a stay request,” the brief said.

In issuing a preliminary injunction temporarily stopping the policy, Seeborg had ordered that it go into effect Friday to give the administration time to appeal.

“It was a huge victory for us and it’s a huge defeat for the Trump administration at least in terms of a signal that you are not above the law,” Rabinovitz said of Seeborg’s ruling.

Seeborg also ruled that all 11 migrants named in the lawsuit must be allowed to enter the U.S. within two days of the order taking effect.

While the order was not set to officially go into effect until Friday, an official with Mexico’s immigration agency told NBC News the government had not been returning newly arrived migrants to Mexico since the judge issued his decision on Monday.

Since the policy was implemented in late January, 1,323 Central American migrants have been returned to Mexico, according to a statement from Mexico’s National Institute of Migration. Of those, 308 were families including 428 children under 18, according to the statement.

A Department of Justice official told NBC News that since Seeborg’s order all migrants affected by the policy who have had court dates in the U.S. have been told they will not be returned to Mexico following those hearings. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Critics of the policy say forcing migrants to wait in Mexico puts their lives in danger and violates their legal right to seek asylum in the U.S.

Trump administration attorneys have said the policy was meant to deter “baseless” asylum claims that were “overtaxing” the U.S. immigration system.

Families seeking asylum had previously been allowed to stay in the U.S., either in detention or released into the country, while awaiting their court hearings.

Rabinovitz said that the ACLU would also be working to get relief for migrants affected by the policy whose court dates in the U.S. may not be for months.

“Clearly they should benefit even though the preliminary injunction doesn’t order the government to bring them back. They can’t be subjected to this policy anymore so there’s no way they can be required to stay in Mexico,” she said.

Daniella Silva is a reporter for NBC News, specializing in immigration and inclusion issues.

Physician tells CNN Biden ‘dropped the ball’ on COVID testing: ‘Cannot believe this is where we are’ – Fox News
Physician tells CNN Biden ‘dropped the ball’ on COVID testing: ‘Cannot believe this is where we are’ – Fox News

Media top headlines December 28

In media news today, ‘The View’ gets mocked over a report the show is struggling to find a new Republican host, the Miami Beach mayor tells CNN that Gov. DeSantis has decided to ‘champion’ not taking the vaccine, and an MSNBC producer gets knocked for calling Chinese human rights abuses ‘alleged.’

A physician speaking with CNN’s “New Day” knocked the Biden administration on Tuesday, arguing that the White House “dropped the ball” on COVID-19 testing.

During an interview with CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins, Brown University School of Public Health Dean Dr. Ashish K. Jha was asked whether the administration was missing a “critical window” for COVID testing heading into the new year.  

“You saw President Biden yesterday acknowledging, pretty bluntly, that they need to do better when it comes to testing because we are seeing this nationwide shortage of those rapid at-home tests. It’s very difficult to just walk into a store and get one. And what we’re hearing from officials like Dr. Fauci is that they believe they’re gonna have this solved by mid-January, in a few weeks. But, how critical is the window that we’re missing right now for testing?” asked Collins.

CNN REPORTER KNOCKS BIDEN OVER INTERVIEW ON COVID TEST SHORTAGES: HE ‘SEEMS CONFUSED’

“Oh I think it’s incredibly critical, and I cannot believe this is where we are almost two years into the pandemic. Everybody saw it coming. We knew we needed more tests. I think the administration dropped the ball on this,” Jha responded.

Jha said that the Biden administration appeared to be primarily focused on vaccinations throughout the year while “not paying a lot of attention” to the importance of testing. He added that while a focus on vaccines is “terrific,” the decision to largely ignore the infrastructure for testing has been “really costly” this holiday season. 

A few CNN correspondents have recently criticized the president for his handling of the pandemic. 

REPORTERS ASK BIDEN IF TESTING SHORTAGE IS A FAILURE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION

CNN reporter Phil Mattingly questioned last week whether the administration’s inability to adequately prepare for the latest variant with testing should be considered a “failure.”

“No, it’s not,” Biden responded. “Because COVID is spreading so rapidly if you notice. It just happened almost overnight just in the last month. And so, it’s not a failure, but an alarm bell went off. I don’t think anybody anticipated that this was going to be as rapidly spreading as it did.”

Biden again admitted to a lack of foresight on rapid tests in a call with several U.S. governors on Monday, saying, “It is not enough. It’s clearly not enough. If I had – we – had known, we would have gone harder, quicker, if we could have.”

Fox News’ Brandon Gillespie contributed to this report.
