Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline President Joe Biden blasted the Supreme Court's landmark decision Friday to overturn the nationwide right to an abortion , which has already led to abortion bans in some states, calling it a “sad day for the court and our country.” Key Facts Biden said the decision was the culmination of a Republican-led “deliberate effort over decades to upset the balance of our law,” calling the decision the “realization of an extreme ideology.” The president stated the three conservative justices former President Donald Trump appointed to the court were at the “core of today's decision to upend the scales of justice.” Biden called on Congress to enact laws to codify a nationwide right to abortion–a move not expected given the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster threshold. Biden demanded protests in the wake of Friday's ruling remain peaceful, while urging those opposed to the decision to show up to vote in the … [Read more...] about Biden Slams Overturn Of Roe V.

US resuscitates bid at G7 to counter China’s Belt and Road
- A + A (June 27): President Joe Biden rebooted his effort to counter China’s flagship trade-and-infrastructure initiative after an earlier campaign faltered, enlisting the support of Group of Seven (G7) leaders at their summit in Germany. The Build Back Better World initiative, named after Biden’s domestic spending and climate agenda, struggled to get off the ground because not enough G7 partners contributed financially when it was unveiled a year ago, according to people familiar with its lack of progress. European officials cited the Biden administration’s inability to get its own ambitious economic legislation through Congress. “When democracies demonstrate what we can do — all that we have to offer — I have no doubt that we’ll win that competition every time,” Biden said during an event on the sidelines of the summit. The measure has been rebranded the “Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment” (PGII) and the US is calling on leaders to agree to … [Read more...] about US resuscitates bid at G7 to counter China’s Belt and Road
G7 leaders work to ‘starve’ Russia of oil money as Zelensky says he wants the war over by the end of the year
Telfs-Buchen, Austria (CNN) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told G7 leaders during a virtual meeting Monday that he wants the war in Ukraine to end by the end of 2022, according to a source familiar with his remarks , as leaders worked to starve Russia of its oil revenues and mitigate the economic fallout of the conflict. The dual missions -- sustain support for Ukraine while easing economic pressures at home -- have defined this year's summit of leading democracies, held high in the Bavarian Alps. While largely united, the leaders are all facing their own political imperatives to see a momentum shift in the fighting and bring an end to the conflict quickly. To that end, leaders were nearing an agreement to try capping the price of Russian oil, depriving the country of revenues that have soared amid the global spike in energy prices. Details were still being ironed out, including whether the top buyers of Russian oil would agree to the limits, but US officials … [Read more...] about G7 leaders work to ‘starve’ Russia of oil money as Zelensky says he wants the war over by the end of the year

You can listen to an audio version of the newsletter by clicking the same link. London (CNN Business) Europe and the United States have barred the import of Russian oil to cut off a crucial revenue source for the Kremlin. But the plan to pile pain on President Vladimir Putin, forcing him to reconsider his war in Ukraine, hasn't worked . Russia's government is making just as much money from energy exports as it was before the invasion. Meanwhile, inflation is surging globally, adding to political pressure on heads of state such as US President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron. That's forcing leaders from top economies who have gathered in Germany for a G7 meeting to consider a new route: slapping price caps on Russian crude .
