Has President Biden

Seems to me that there is not much the U.S. can do about what Russia, China and many others do other than express indignation.

Seems true.

So this all happened during the Obama/Biden years in the White House. Spying on our European friends.

Denmark's secret service helped the US spy on European politicians including German Chancellor Angela Merkel from 2012 to 2014, Danish media say.

The Defence Intelligence Service (FE) collaborated with the US National Security Agency (NSA) to gather information, according to Danish public service broadcaster DR.

Intelligence was allegedly collected on other officials from Germany, France, Sweden and Norway.

Similar allegations emerged in 2013.

It all makes one wonder why anybody (in their right mind) would want to be President, especially considering the absolutely, positively endless number of self-anointed experts and "specialists" out there in their own reality ever-at-the-ready to criticize and blame. Of course, not a one of those critics would ever have the courage or resources to run for President themselves .

out there in their own reality ever-at-the-ready to criticize and blame.

Interesting comment coming from someone that doled out their fair share of criticism against President Trump....right down to his hair.

Thanx. I'm tickled you found that "interesting." I find you to be quite the character, too. Now, ain't dat nice .

P.S. And what's worse about my anti-hair-do viewpoint was (and is) that I'm no barber or hair-stylist, or beauty parlor owner. Nope. Just a fella who feels hair styles for men have moved away from the Elvis Presley look and have somewhat embraced the Kennedy-look, not that such tastes are universal, all of which gets a big so-what.

To me, his hair style has represented a viewpoint that has lived under it. Unfortunately.

So, there ya are, bub. Blab-in 'bout nuttin.

Biden expands US investment ban on Chinese firms
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57334265

US President Joe Biden is set to ban Americans from investing in dozens of Chinese tech and defence firms with alleged military ties.

The new executive order will come into effect on 2 August, hitting 59 firms including communications giant Huawei. The list of firms will be updated on a rolling basis.

The move expands an order previously issued by ex-President Donald Trump.

Even before the official announcement, China suggested it would retaliate.

Under the new order, US investors will be banned from buying or selling publicly-traded securities for other companies including the China General Nuclear Power Corporation, China Mobile Limited and Costar Group.

It expands the previous list from 31 firms to include surveillance companies and is aimed at ensuring "US persons are not financing the military industrial complex of the People's Republic of China," one White House official said.

The China-US relationship is crucial to both sides and the wider world, with Beijing repeatedly calling on the new administration in Washington to improve relations which deteriorated under predecessor Donald Trump.

In their first meeting under the Biden presidency last month, the two countries' top trade negotiators held "candid, pragmatic" talks on their trading relationship.

President Biden has insisted, however, that existing tariffs will be kept in place for now as he looks to boost the US economy, which was hit hard early in the pandemic but is now recovering.

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Wang Wenbin suggested China would retaliate against the latest measures.
