On January 15, Joe Biden Will Bid Farewell to Americans
World
U.S. President Joe Biden, who is stepping down from his position, will deliver a farewell address to Americans on January 15. The White House press statement did not disclose the details of Biden's speech, but farewell addresses are a customary tradition for U.S. presidents when leaving office.
According to the official White House website, the speech is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM local time (6:00 AM Tashkent time on January 16) from the Oval Office.
Although the press service has not revealed specifics, farewell speeches are traditionally significant for U.S. presidents. For instance, at the end of his first presidential term, Donald Trump dedicated much of his farewell speech to the accomplishments of his administration. Trump highlighted that he "did not start any wars" but conducted an "unprecedented fight" against China and "restored the U.S.'s alliances with other countries."
On January 10, Joe Biden held one of his last conversations as U.S. president with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to Zelenskyy, Biden once again emphasized that "preserving and defending Ukraine's independence is vital for all of Europe and the democratic world." This topic is expected to feature in Biden's farewell address to the nation.
Earlier, Joe Biden canceled his final trip to the European Union as U.S. president. The reason for canceling the visit to Italy, scheduled for January 9–12, was the ongoing large-scale wildfires in California. During a meeting with local rescuers, Biden described the fires as one of the most devastating events in the region's history.
