MNI POLITICAL RISK - Biden Kicks Off Hectic Month Of Diplomacy

US
  • President Biden kicks off a five-day France trip today with a speech in Normandy at commemorations to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. The subtext of the speech is a clear rebuke to former President Donald Trump's scepticism of the post-war international system.
  • The US, and 16 other nations, have issued a joint statement calling on Hamas to accept the hostages-for-ceasefire deal outlined by President Joe Biden at the end of May.
  • Lawmakers are “sounding doubtful” there the Senate will confirm a successor to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chair Martin Gruenberg this year.
  • Former President Donald Trump is unlikely to see the inside of another courtroom before the November 5 election after two of his cases hit more delays.
  • Trump’s shortlist for his VP pick appears to be shortening after reports that he has requested documents for vetting eight potential candidates.
  • The most high-profile Congressional advocate for the crypto industry has suggested that a Trump administration would be friendly to digital assets.
  • The Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission struck a deal for the DOJ to open an investigation into whether chipmaker Nvidia has violated antitrust laws.
  • The White House has criticised Senate Republicans for blocking passage of a bill to protect access to birth control – renewing discussions about women’s reproductive rights, a major vote winner for Democrats at the 2022 midterm elections.
  • Poll of the Day: There has been a statistically significant polling swing towards Biden following former Trump’s guilty verdict in Manhattan.
