World Waits to See Where Biden Will Send Vaccines

June 1, 2021 at 8:13 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“The U.S. is about to pivot from hoarding vaccines to sharing them globally, and countries around the world are trying to secure their places in line,” Axios reports.

“President Biden has promised to donate 80 million doses by the end of June. With domestic demand waning, he’ll soon be able to offer far more. But the White House hasn’t said how it will distribute the initial 80 million, or when it will feel comfortable truly opening its supply to the world.”

Richard Haass: “For all the talk about the ‘international community,’ the pandemic has exposed the absence of one. The failure to produce and equitably distribute a sufficient number of vaccines worldwide is a scandal. The demand is there; what remains is the will to match it with the necessary supply.”

This is a massive opportunity for Biden to rebuild America’s image in the world.

Fueling Political Wire, One Cup at a Time

Every morning before the sun’s up, I sit down to work on Political Wire with a cup of Trade Coffee beside me.

It’s become part of the ritual — opening the laptop, scanning the news, and taking that first sip of a roast matched perfectly to my taste. Trade connects me with small roasters across the country, delivering beans that are always fresh and far better than what you’ll find at the grocery store.

If you love coffee as much as I do, use this link to get 50% off and taste the difference for yourself.
