NUSA DUA  —  United States (US) President Joe Biden responded Wednesday (Nov 16) to Donald Trump's announcement of another run for the White House by saying the Republican "failed" his country while in office.

"Donald Trump failed America," Mr Biden said in a tweet from Bali, where he was attending the last day of the G20 summit.

This accompanied a video compilation saying Mr Trump presided over "rigging economy for rich", "attacking health care", "coddling extremists", "attacking women's rights", and "inciting a violent mob" to try to overturn his 2020 election loss to Mr Biden.

Later, while participating in a ceremonial mangrove planting with other G20 leaders, reporters asked Mr Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron if they had reactions to the Trump announcement.

The two looked at each other briefly before Mr Biden said "not really," while Mr Macron remained silent. AFP
