A day after inciting a mob of his supporters to riot and breach the US Capitol, President Donald Trump returned to his very important work. Trump's public schedule said he would have 'many meetings' and 'many calls.' CNN reports on Thursday, Trump also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to golfers Annika Sorenstam and Gary Player. The president's attempted return to business as usual comes amid the ongoing global pandemic and after a stunning siege, which he personally incited. In one of his 'many calls,' Trump phoned into the Republican National Committee's winter meeting. But the RNC is currently an active crime scene. As a pipe bomb was found outside the RNC on Wednesday, Trump was forced to cancel his planned Thursday evening video address.
Rumors have been flying about what, if anything, President Donald Trump will do during the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. According to Business Insider, one such story making the rounds is that Trump will visit his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland. In fact, a Scottish newspaper reported Sunday that a US military plane sometimes used by Trump is scheduled to arrive at an airport near the resort. But on Tuesday, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon put an end to such speculation. Sturgeon said the country's national lockdown, which includes a prohibition on non-essential travel, applies to Trump as well.
Major news outlets including CNN, MSNBC, and the Associated Press called the election on Saturday for former Vice President Joe Biden. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump spent Saturday golfing at his golf club in Virginia. According to Business Insider, Biden was named the winner after his lead in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania surpassed 30,000 votes. Insider and its election partner, Decision Desk HQ, projected the race in the former Vice President's favor on Friday. Not long before major networks announced that Biden was the projected winner, Trump falsely claimed victory in the election.
Geneva, Oct 6 (EFE), (Camera: Antonio Broto).- Global trade is showing signs of recovery amid the deep economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and is expected to end the year with a fall of 9.2 percent instead of 12.9 percent estimated six months ago, according to the World Trade Organization.Trade volume is expected to grow by 7.2 percent in 2021, meaning that by the end of next year it will still not have returned to where it was before the outbreak, according to a WTO report released Tuesday.The organization predicted the global GDP will fall by 4.8 percent this year and increase next year by 4.9 percent.If the spread of the virus is controlled and the drop is limited to 9.2 percent as predicted, it will mean ending 2020 in the most positive scenario that was contemplated in April.The recovery expected in 2021 is only a third of the 21.3 percent calculated in April meaning the prevailing scenario for the near future is one of “weak recovery”.WTO deputy director-general Xiaozhun Yi warned that a resurgence in the virus that requires new restrictions could reduce global GDP growth by two to three percentage points and put a four percent dent in the growth in merchandise trade expected in 2021.International trade could be largely sustained thanks to demand for medical supplies, electronic devices and technological goods.FOOTAGE OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE ON TUESDAY.SOUNDBITES OF XIAOCHUN YI, WTO DIRECTOR-GENERAL; AND ROBERT KOOPMAN, WTO CHIEF ECONOMIST.
