Präsident Biden stolperte am Dienstag bei einem Besuch in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, wo er „Bidenomics“ und die Wirtschaftsagenda seiner Regierung anpries, über seine Worte.
Während seiner Rede in einer Fabrik in Wisconsin konzentrierte sich Biden auf Arbeitsplätze in der Fertigung.
Fast 20 Minuten nach Beginn seiner Rede sprach der Präsident davon, dass Arbeitsplätze in Amerika geschaffen würden, statt dass sie exportiert würden.

The number of firefighters in the EU is declining, even as the bloc faces more wildfires as a result of climate change.
The bloc counted a total of 360,000 firefighters last year — 2,800 fewer than in 2021, according to new data released by EU statistics office Eurostat.
“Cutting the number of firefighters in the midst of a climate crisis is a recipe for disaster,” Esther Lynch, general secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation, said in a statement Tuesday.
Taiwan-based chips manufacturer TSMC on Tuesday formally announced an investment of about €3.5 billion into a microchip production plant in Germany, its first in Europe.
The commitment is a huge boost for the EU’s push to become less dependent in the field of microchips, which are used in everything from cars to smartphones. The EU’s goal is to bring its market share in the global semiconductor value chain to 20 percent (from 9 percent now). The goal was set because
