Boris Johnson told Joe Biden his arrival in the White House was a "moment of hope in a dark time" as he became the first leader outside North America to speak to the US President.

I think we may head there, they’re almost certainly testing Biden.

This happens from time to time. The Chinese breach Taiwanese airspace, the US sends a carrier group and paints a few Chinese planes with missile tracking radar, the Chinese establish the Americans are still serious and go home.

Which is a shame it can’t be said for the Inauguration video posted to YouTube by the official White House account, it received a higher proportion of dislikes to likes, it caused them to have unlisted it. :rofl:

It's probably because it was a livestream. The other videos on there have more negative than positive upvotes and they also turned off comments on all of them. I think this is going to be a President a lot less focused on social media.

In other words a politician not a tv presenter.

Biden set for ‘buy American’ push to boost domestic manufacturing

Policy on procurement risks straining relations with key US allies

US president Joe Biden is set to tighten “buy American” provisions as part of a push to boost domestic manufacturing, in a move that risks straining relations with key US allies. Mr Biden is on Monday expected to order an increase in domestic content requirements for federal procurement contracts, following a campaign pledge to boost the US manufacturing industry as he aimed to outflank Donald Trump in key swing states.

However, America’s top trading partners and strategic allies, including Canada and a number of European countries, have long complained that buy American measures are a protectionist attempt to shut out their multinationals from the US economy. Biden administration officials laid out the changes to US federal procurement rules in a call with reporters, saying it marked an effort to rebuild “the backbone of America”.

Youtube is blocked in North Korea, wouldn’t be surprised if it was in Iran. What you suspect is usually falsehoods. It’s easy to blame Russia when this could actually be genuine people unliking the White House content.

Also, I’ve told you several times to stop posting and linking to content behind pay walls.

Pretty sure people in NK & Iran who work for their governments will have access...
