• US Forest Service awards $1B in grants to boost green space access

The Biden administration is awarding more than $1 billion in grants as part of an effort aimed at increasing Americans’ access to trees and green spaces.

The U.S. Forest Service, part of the Agriculture Department, said Thursday it will issue 385 grants to increase access to trees and nature in cities, towns and suburbs around the country.

Research has shown that tree cover lessens the impacts of extreme heat, including by reducing heat-related deaths. Parts of cities without tree cover have been found to be hotter than those with trees.

The funding for the initiative was announced earlier this year and comes from the Inflation Reduction Act, which Democrats passed last year.

“These investments arrive as cities across the country experience record-breaking heatwaves that have grave impacts on public health, energy consumption, and overall well-being,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement.

“Thanks to President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, we are supporting communities in becoming more resilient to climate change and combatting extreme heat with the cooling effects of increased urban tree canopy, while also supporting employment opportunities and professional training that will strengthen local economies,” Vilsack added.

• EPA: Climate law will cut carbon emissions up to 43 percent

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is poised to cut economy-wide carbon emissions by up to 43 percent relative to 2005 levels, according to the first Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) report on the 2022 climate and infrastructure law.

The report, released Tuesday, indicates the IRA cuts economy-wide emissions between 35 percent and 43 percent below 2005 levels in 2030. In the electric power sector specifically, it cuts emissions between 49 percent and 83 percent from 2005 levels, according to the EPA. The report projects 2030 carbon emissions from electricity at 11 percent to 67 percent lower than a scenario in which the IRA was not implemented.

The EPA noted that a “handful” of models indicate higher emissions under the IRA in 2025, which it attributes to the no-IRA scenario featuring higher short-term investments in renewable energy around that time before tax credits expire. The emissions cuts are flatter in the long term under the IRA projections because it extends those tax credits.

The greatest reductions of direct and indirect emissions are in electricity use by buildings, where the report projects emissions falling by 49 percent to 63 percent in 2030. This is followed by the transportation sector, where the report projects a reduction of 11 percent to 25 percent.

By 2035, it puts the cuts between 52 percent and 70 percent for buildings and 15 percent to 35 percent for the transportation sector.

“The Inflation Reduction Act is transforming energy production and consumption in dramatic ways, paving the way towards a clean energy future,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement. “This report shows robust evidence that America’s clean energy transformation is driving significant reductions in CO2 emissions, putting us on a clear path to achieve President Biden’s bold climate goals.”

Senate Environment Committee ranking member Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), however, was sharply critical of the report’s conclusions that the IRA will lead to a downturn in the natural gas and coal sector, major industries in West Virginia.

“It’s no surprise the Inflation Reduction Act, which was written in secret and rushed through Congress on a party-line vote, is extremely unpopular in energy-producing states like West Virginia, and this report outlines exactly why,” Capito said in a statement.

Capito’s fellow West Virginia senator, Joe Manchin (D), was instrumental to the IRA’s passage but has also been a vocal critic of its implementation. Manchin is considered one of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents in the 2024 election, should he decide to run again.

US President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, has been criminally charged with three counts of lying when buying a firearm, after a proposed plea deal collapsed.
The indictment marks the first time the child of a sitting president has been criminally prosecuted.
A planned plea bargain to resolve gun and tax-related charges he faced abruptly fell apart in July.
All three counts relate to Biden, 53, allegedly lying on forms while buying a gun when he was a drug user.
Prosecutors allege he falsely claimed that he was "not an unlawful user of and addicted to any stimulant narcotic drug" when he purchased a Colt Cobra Special revolver at a Delaware gun store in October 2018.
At the time, Biden was a heavy user of crack cocaine.
Under US federal laws, it is a crime to lie on such documentation, or possess a firearm while a drug user.
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison, the justice department said in a statement. Actual sentences for federal crimes are usually less than the maximum possible penalties.
It was still unclear when and where Biden's initial court appearance would take place.

• Scoop: U.S. and Bahrain to sign strategic security and economic agreement

The U.S. and Bahrain are expected to sign a strategic security and economic agreement this week that will upgrade the U.S. security commitment to the Gulf kingdom, according to three sources briefed on the issue.

Why it matters: Bahrain is a key U.S. partner in the Gulf. The Navy's 5th Fleet is headquartered on a large U.S. naval base there. In 2002, the Gulf kingdom became a major non-NATO ally of the U.S. — an important symbolic designation but one that does not include any security commitments.

• Bahrain sees Iran, located less than 100 miles away on the other side of the Gulf, as a threat.
• Tehran for years has claimed Bahrain as one of its provinces. The Bahraini government has rejected the claims and accused Iran of fueling unrest among the kingdom's Shiite population.

Driving the news: Bahraini Crown Prince and Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa is expected to sign the agreement during a visit to Washington this week, the sources said.

• He is also expected to meet Secretary of State Tony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and national security adviser Jake Sullivan, according to one source.
• Brett McGurk, Biden's senior Middle East adviser, visited Bahrain last week and met with the crown prince and other Bahraini officials.

Details: The agreement includes a commitment to consult and provide assistance if Bahrain faces an imminent security threat, two sources said.

• Another source familiar with the agreement said it will be legally binding. It will include a security commitment, and outline an economic partnership between the U.S. and Bahrain as well as cooperation around trusted technologies.
• The agreement, however, does not include a NATO-style Article 5 commitment, which would have required the U.S. to see any attack on Bahrain as an attack on America.
• The White House and the Bahraini Embassy declined to comment.

Behind the scenes: The sources said the U.S.-Bahrain strategic agreement has been in the works for more than a year.

• The Biden administration wanted to use the agreement as a framework for similar agreements with other countries in the region, the sources said.
• According to one source, McGurk discussed the final details of the agreement during his trip to Manama last week.

The big picture: The agreement with Bahrain is part of a broader push by the Biden administration to strengthen ties with Gulf countries.

• On Saturday, Biden announced together with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and India a major international infrastructure project to connect India, the Middle East and Europe with a network of railways and shipping lines.
• The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed Bin Salman said in his speech at the launching of the project that the kingdom will invest $20 billion in Biden's Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, which will also include the railway and shipping project.
• The Biden administration's efforts to get a normalization agreement between Saudi Arabia and Israel got another boost over the weekend when a delegation of the Israeli Foreign Ministry and Antiquities Authority arrived in Riyadh to participate in the UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting. It was the first time an Israeli government delegation visited Saudi Arabia officially and publicly.

What to watch: The Biden administration is holding talks with Saudi Arabia on a mega-deal that could also include a U.S.-Saudi Arabia defense treaty.

• Saudi officials want the agreement to be stronger and to include more commitments from the U.S., as Axios has previously reported. That would likely require Senate approval.

CNN finally comes around to the realities: Democrats will lose in 2024 with Biden.

New York Times and Washington Post BOTH run op-eds branding Biden, 80, too old for office with NYT raising specter of him dying before retiring like Ruth Bader Ginsburg

• David Ignatius wrote a similar column in the Washington Post with a more direct headline: 'President Biden should not run again in 2024'
• READ MORE: Nancy Pelosi concedes Biden may DROP OUT of 2024 race

The New York Times and Washington Post both published opinion pieces Wednesday branding 80-year-old President Joe Biden as too old to run for re-election in 2024.
It comes as Biden faces an impeachment inquiry and recent polling numbers show most consider the president at too advanced an age to serve again.
Ross Douthat, a conservative op-ed writer for the liberal Times, penned a piece titled '2024's Field of Nightmares,' a reference to the 1989 film Field of Dreams.
He said while his concerns with Biden come down to run-of-the-mill political disagreements during his first term, Democrats are playing with fire in allowing the oldest president in American history to run again.

In his latest gaffe-laden speech, Donald Trump appeared to suggest former President Barack Obama was running in 2024 as he warned that “cognitively impaired” President Joe Biden could lead the country into “World War Two” if he wins re-election.

During his remarks at the Washington DC Pray Vote Stand Summit on Friday, the former president said: “We have a man who is totally corrupt and the worst president in the history of our country, who is cognitively impaired, in no condition to lead, and is now in charge of dealing with Russia and possible nuclear war.”

“Just think of it. We would be in World War Two very quickly if we’re going to be relying on this man, and far more devastating than any war,” he continued as dramatic music swelled in the background.

• U.S. to redirect millions in military aid for Egypt to Taiwan

The Biden administration notified Congress this week of plans to deny Egypt $85 million in military aid and redirect much of it to Taiwan due to concerns about political prisoners and other human rights abuses in Cairo.

The big picture: The administration was criticized by lawmakers for both not going far enough to hold Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's government to account for abuses including detaining political prisoners and for not assisting Taiwan enough in the face of threats from China.

Zoom in: Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee Chair Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said on the Senate floor Tuesday that the Biden administration had "rightly decided to withhold that first tranche, $85 million tied to the release of political prisoners, because there's just no question there has not been enough progress."

• However, he added that the administration should "finish the job and withhold the full $320 million ... until Egypt's human rights and democracy record improves."

Meanwhile, Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) in a statement Thursday called the Biden administration's decision to provide $55 million in foreign military financing to Taiwan "a pittance" compared to Taipei's "enormous needs for self-defense and the United States' clear national interest in supporting" the self-governing island.

• "It is doubly disappointing that rather than requesting standalone FMF [Foreign Military Financing] funding for Taiwan, as I have repeatedly challenged the administration to do, the president chose to source these funds from a different security partner," he added.
• "This is especially counterproductive since Egypt has proven receptive to this administration's human rights concerns."

Between the lines: "While the amount of aid redirected to Taiwan may seem relatively small, it carries significant symbolic and strategic implications," Soliman told Breaking Defense magazine on Thursday.

• "This move underscores a broader shift in U.S. priorities, signaling a pivot from the Middle East towards the Indo-Pacific region, with a particular focus on Taiwan."

Meanwhile, Washington and Cairo's relationship has become strained amid Egyptian resistance against U.S. requests to send Ukraine weaponry as it defends itself from Russia's military invasion and concerns about human rights abuses under Sisi's rule, per the Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the aid decision.

• Thousands of "actual or perceived government critics or opponents" have been "arbitrarily detained and/or unjustly prosecuted" in Egypt, per a 2022 Amnesty International report.

What they're saying: State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said at a briefing Tuesday that the administration had "not made a formal determination as of yet" on the issue of aid to Egypt, but noted "the deadline for that is approaching relatively soon."

• Representatives for the Pentagon declined to comment on the matter and those from the State Department did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.

• Biden Supports Economic Corridor Amid Geopolitical Shifts Fragmenting Global Economy

The recent backing of an economic corridor by President Joe Biden highlights the evolving geopolitical landscape and its impact on the global economy. As countries like Saudi Arabia navigate the dueling influences of the United States and China, new alliances and strategic opportunities emerge. The economic corridor, aimed at connecting India with Middle Eastern and European Union countries, serves as a countermeasure to China's Belt and Road Initiative. However, the fragmentation of the world economy due to protectionism and nationalism poses challenges to global trade and collaboration.

The Promise of Investment and Connectivity

The economic corridor presents an attractive proposition for developing economies, promising investment to address infrastructure gaps and enhance regional supply chains. The objectives align with those of China's Belt and Road Initiative, emphasizing trade connectivity and economic activity. However, the perception of the corridor as a U.S. narrative raises questions about local narratives and the complexities of multipolar relationships in a changing world.

Lessons from China's Belt and Road Initiative

China's Belt and Road Initiative, launched a decade ago, has gained significant traction with 148 partner countries. Its potential to boost global GDP and its involvement in political and security issues demonstrate China's growing clout. Biden's infrastructure pact, while attempting to reboot U.S. influence in the Middle East, faces the challenges of debt issues and the involvement of state-owned Chinese companies in infrastructure projects.

The Importance of Collaboration

The Biden-led initiative focuses on linking existing ports, railway lines, and energy grids, leveraging infrastructure already built under the Belt and Road Initiative. This approach aims to mitigate risks and promote collaboration. By stressing connectivity and investment, the United States seeks to overcome domestic challenges in trade liberalization and foster partnerships with like-minded nations.

India's Role and the Fragmented Reality

India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has positioned itself as a key advocate for the interests of the Global South. The partnership between India and the U.S. in the Indo-Pacific strategy to contain China underscores the shifting alliances in the region. However, despite calls for collaboration and a shared future, the reality remains fragmented as supply chains align along geopolitical lines.

Striving for an Integrated Economy

While geopolitical shifts and nationalistic sentiments impact global trade, there is a growing recognition of the need to reinforce and diversify supply chains. The emphasis on connectivity and collaboration for the benefit of all highlights the importance of an integrated economy. Encouraging countries to work together in the spirit of collaboration can lead to greater prosperity and stability. In conclusion, President Biden's support for the economic corridor reflects the changing dynamics of geopolitical alliances and their impact on the global economy. The challenges and opportunities presented by the corridor and China's Belt and Road Initiative underscore the need for collaboration and a more integrated approach to global trade and connectivity. As nations navigate these complexities, the path to greater prosperity lies in fostering partnerships and working together for the benefit of all.

Conclusion: Impact on New Businesses

The geopolitical shifts and the emergence of the economic corridor backed by President Biden present both challenges and opportunities for new businesses. These changes in the global landscape could significantly impact international trade and investment patterns, making it crucial for businesses to stay informed and adaptable.

Navigating the New Landscape

For new businesses, understanding the dynamics of these geopolitical alliances can provide insights into potential markets and partnerships. The economic corridor, for instance, could open up new avenues for businesses in infrastructure, supply chain management, and trade.

Embracing Collaboration and Integration

The emphasis on collaboration and integration in this evolving landscape underscores the importance of building strong partnerships. New businesses can leverage these alliances to access new markets, secure investment, and foster growth.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, the shifting geopolitical alliances and the emergence of the economic corridor are reshaping the global economy. For new businesses, these changes present opportunities to tap into new markets, build partnerships, and contribute to a more integrated and collaborative global economy. Despite the challenges, the path to prosperity lies in navigating these complexities with informed strategies and a spirit of collaboration.

• Biden campaign hits Trump on UAW strike
  

President Biden’s reelection campaign is bashing former President Trump for his criticism of Biden administration policies that he said attacked American autoworkers ahead of the strike.

“Donald Trump will say literally anything to distract from his long record of breaking promises and failing America’s workers. Under Trump, autoworkers shuttered their doors and sent American jobs overseas. Under Trump, auto companies would have likely gone bankrupt, devastating the industry and upending millions of lives,” Ammar Moussa, spokesperson for Biden-Harris 2024, said in a statement first shared with The Hill.

The former president has argued — in an effort to get support from the union — that Biden administration policies that promote electric vehicles are attacks on the autoworkers. The union has not yet endorsed Biden in 2024, arguing in May that it has concerns over the White House’s focus on electric vehicles (EVs). Although, the union said it doesn’t plan to endorse Trump.

“President Biden is the most pro-union president in history, leading a renewed manufacturing boom, bringing hundreds of thousands of good-paying, union jobs back home. That’s because President Biden sees the world from assembly plant floors and kitchen tables, not penthouses on Park Avenue,” Moussa said.

Workers began their strike after three major automakers and the United Auto Workers (UAW) union failed to reach an agreement by Thursday night’s strike deadline. Negotiations between the UAW and Ford, Stellantis and General Motors have been focused on pay increases, pensions and career security, and workers also have concerns about EVs and how a shift toward EVs could affect their jobs and pay.

“Stand strong against Biden’s vicious attack on American labor and American auto workers,” Trump said Wednesday. “And if you want more jobs, higher wages and soaring pensions, vote for President Trump and have your leaders endorse me. If they don’t, drop out of the Union and start a new one that’s going to protect your interests right.”

Meanwhile, the Biden campaign argued that “Trump was one of the most anti-union presidents in history” and shared that UAW President Shawn Fain said earlier this month that Trump is “not a person I want as my president” and that he’s “part of the billionaire class.”

The campaign also shared that Trump suggested in 2015 moving some car production from Michigan. Meanwhile, the campaign touted that Biden is leading an auto-factory boom and creating manufacturing jobs with legislation like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act.
