US President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that 547,000 Americans have died from the Corona virus, and presented a plan to revive the economy that includes, in particular, the rehabilitation of infrastructure in his country, worth two trillion dollars.
In a speech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Biden said that the number of victims of the Corona epidemic in the United States exceeds those of the two world wars, the Vietnam War, and the attacks of September 11, 2001.
It is noteworthy that the number of Coronavirus infections in the United States on Wednesday exceeded 31 million and 151 thousand, according to the latest data published by the "World Meter" website.
After taking office on January 20, the US President promised to vaccinate 100 million Americans with anti-Corona vaccines during the first 100 days of his presidency.
Reform the economy
On the other hand, Biden pledged to build and reform the US economy to be more competitive.
"Our economy has not been as unbalanced as it is now, and it is time to reform it," he said.
He also pledged to promote his country's national interests, which would qualify it to win the competition with China.
The US President announced his plan to rehabilitate the infrastructure in the United States with more than two trillion dollars.
He stressed that this investment plan to modernize the infrastructure will provide millions of jobs, saying that it is not possible to delay one minute to do this work.
In the context, Biden said that 30% of Americans do not have access to a good-speed Internet service.
