It's official: Joe Biden has made clear his intention to run again for a second term at the helm of the United States in 2024 , while admitting that it is somehow "legitimate" for people to ask questions about his age.
“From the outset, my intention was to run for a second term. But there are too many things we need to accomplish in the short term before I start a campaign,” he said in an interview. At 80, Biden is the oldest incumbent president in US history . If he were re-elected, he would be 86 at the end of his four-year presidency. “It's legitimate for people to raise questions about my age. The only thing I can tell them is: “look at me”», he explained. In recent weeks there had been talk of the possible candidacy of his deputy Kamala Harris, a hypothesis that now seems to fade.
“THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT CHINA HAS SENT WEAPONS TO MOSCOW” – Exactly one year after the start of the war between Moscow and Kiev , Biden had a new “private conversation” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which he ruled out – at least for now – sending F16 jets because the supply would not be deemed necessary by Washington's military. And speaking of China's role in the conflict, he said: " There is no evidence that China has supplied weapons to Russia ", recalling that in his meeting with his counterpart Xi Jinping warned him that Western companies could leave China if Beijing "aligned" with Moscow.
