Why Republican Biden fixation may distract from Trump's priorities
And Trump's White House has opened its own investigation into the Biden administration's use of the presidential
autopen , which Trump has called 'one of the biggest scandals in the history of our country'.
It all fits with Trump's practice of blaming his predecessors for the nation's ills. Just last week, he tried to deflect criticism of his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case by casting blame on others, including Biden.
Turning the spotlight back on the former president carries risks for both parties heading into the 2026 midterms.
The more Republicans or Democrats talk about Biden, the less they can make arguments about the impact of Trump's presidency – positive or negative – especially his sweeping new tax cut and spending law that is reshaping the federal government.
'Most Americans consider Joe Biden to be yesterday's news,' Republican pollster Whit Ayres said.

US and EU strike trade deal with EU paying 15pc tariff
US and EU strike trade deal with EU paying 15pc tariff European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen travelled to Scotland for talks with US President Donald Trump. Photo: Reuters The United States struck a framework trade deal with the European Union on Sunday, imposing a 15 percent US import tariff on most EU goods, but averting a spiralling battle between two allies which account for almost a third of global trade. The announcement came after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen travelled for talks with US President Donald Trump at his golf course in western Scotland to push a hard-fought deal over the line. "I think this is the biggest deal ever made," Trump told reporters after an hour-long meeting with von der Leyen, who said the 15 percent tariff applied "across the board". "We have a trade deal between the two largest economies in the world, and it's a big deal. It's a huge deal. It will bring stability. It will bring predictability," she said. The deal, that also includes US$600 billion of EU investments in the United States and significant EU purchases of US energy and military equipment, will indeed bring clarity for EU companies. However, the baseline tariff of 15 percent will be seen by many in Europe as a poor outcome compared to the initial European ambition of a zero-for-zero tariff deal, although it is better than the threatened 30 percent rate. The deal mirrors parts of the framework agreement the United States clinched with Japan last week. "We are agreeing that the tariff... for automobiles and everything else will be a straight across tariff of 15 percent," Trump said. However, the 15 percent baseline rate would not apply to steel and aluminium, for which a 50 percent tariff would remain in place. Trump, who is seeking to reorder the global economy and reduce decades-old US trade deficits, has so far reeled in agreements with Britain, Japan, Indonesia and Vietnam, although his administration has failed to deliver on a promise of "90 deals in 90 days." He has periodically railed against the European Union saying it was "formed to screw the United States" on trade. Arriving in Scotland, Trump said that the EU wanted "to make a deal very badly" and said, as he met von der Leyen, that Europe had been "very unfair to the United States". His main bugbear is the US merchandise trade deficit with the EU, which in 2024 reached US$235 billion, according to US Census Bureau data. The EU points to the US surplus in services, which it says partially redresses the balance. Trump also talked on Sunday about the "hundreds of billions of dollars" that tariffs were bringing in. On July 12, Trump threatened to apply a 30 percent tariff on imports from the EU starting on August 1, after weeks of negotiations with the major US trading partners failed to reach a comprehensive trade deal. The EU had prepared countertariffs on 93 billion euros (US$109 billion) of US goods in the event there was no deal and Trump had pressed ahead with 30 percent tariffs. Some member states had also pushed for the bloc to use its most powerful trade weapon, the anti-coercion instrument, to target US services in the event of a no-deal. (Reuters)

China, US to extend tariff pause at Sweden talks by another 90 days: sources
Beijing and Washington are expected to extend their tariff truce by another three months at trade talks in Stockholm beginning on Monday, according to sources close to the matter on both sides. China and the United States agreed in May to remove most of the heavy tariffs levied on each other's goods for 90 days while continuing trade negotiations. That suspension is set to expire on August 12. During the third round of trade negotiations between the world's two biggest economies, both will expound their views on major sticking points – such as the US' concerns over China's industrial overcapacity – rather than achieve specific breakthroughs, the sources said. One source said that, during the expected 90-day extension, the two nations will commit to not impose additional tariffs on each other, nor escalate the trade war by other means. According to three people familiar with Beijing's position, while the earlier discussions in Geneva and London focused on 'de-escalation', in the latest meeting the Chinese delegation will also press Trump's trade team on fentanyl-related tariffs.

‘Global approach' to AI regulation urgently needed, UN tech chief says
The world urgently needs to find a global approach to regulating artificial intelligence, the United Nations' top tech chief said this week, warning that fragmentation could deepen risks and inequalities. Doreen Bogdan-Martin, head of the UN's International Telecommunications Union (ITU) agency, said she hoped that AI 'can actually benefit humanity.' But as concerns mount over the risks posed by the fast-moving technology – including fears of mass job losses, the spread of deepfakes and disinformation, and society's fabric fraying – she insisted that regulation was key. 'There's an urgency to try to get … the right framework in place,' she said, stressing the need for 'a global approach.' Her comments came after US President Donald Trump this week unveiled an aggressive, low-regulation strategy aimed at ensuring the United States stays ahead of China on AI. Among more than 90 proposals, Trump's plan calls for sweeping deregulation, with the administration promising to 'remove red tape and onerous regulation' that could hinder private sector AI development.
