Having been denied another run for the presidency by party hierarchy, Mr. Biden departed on what was to be his final tour of duty. But NO, before he ends his term, he will make one last homage to prostrate the office of the U.S. Presidency before the authority of the VATICAN.

U.S. President Joe Biden will travel to Rome in January to meet with Pope Francis and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the White House said on Thursday of a trip that will take place shortly before Biden’s term in office ends.

Biden will also meet with Italian President Sergio Mattarella during the visit from Jan. 9 to Jan. 12, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.

Biden’s presidency ends on Jan. 20, when President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated. End.

His previous meeting with the Pope in Rome, resulted in the U.S. Southern Border being opened to around TEN MILLION illegals pouring into the country! See Librarian’s Comment ‘Why The Border Was Opened.’

At The Asian-Pacific Summit

THE HILL Reports: President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping met for the third and final time on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Peru on Saturday, in the wake of the U.S. presidential election.

“The United States has recently concluded its elections,” Xi told Biden. “China’s goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-U.S. relationship remains unchanged.” End.

However, President Jinping is showing signs of concern with President-elect Trump speaking of a 60% tariff on imports to the US in order to equal the massive trade imbalances with China.

A.P.E.C. has 21 member nations cooperating in trade and economic issues.

The 2024 G20 Meeting

Following the A.P.E.C. meeting the President visiting the Amazon, and continued on to the G20 meeting in Rio de Janeiro.

REUTERS: RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov 18 2024 – Leaders from the Group of 20 major economies on Monday issued a joint statement highlighting the suffering caused by conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, while calling for cooperation on climate change, poverty reduction and tax policy.

G20 leaders meeting at Rio de Janeiro’s Modern Art Museum for a two-day summit tackled an agenda that reflected a shifting global order, trying to shore up multilateral consensus before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump returns to power in January.

Their discussions of trade, climate change and international security will run up against the sharp U.S. policy changes that Trump vows upon taking office, from tariffs to the promise of a negotiated solution to the war in Ukraine.

Still, leaders at the summit were able to reach a narrow consensus on the escalating Ukraine war, focused succinctly on “human suffering” and the economic fallout of the conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin did not attend the summit, Moscow was represented by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

It took marathon negotiations over the weekend for diplomats to finalize the joint statement, with debate over climate policy stretching into the dawn hours of Sunday, according to people involved in the talks.

In their statement, leaders agreed the world needs to reach a deal by the end of the United Nations COP29 climate change summit in Azerbaijan on a new financial goal for how much money rich nations must provide to poorer developing nations.

COP29 officials had called on the G20 leaders for a strong signal to help breach the impasse on climate finance. While the joint statement said nations need to resolve the issue, they did not indicate what should be the solution at the U.N. summit set to end on Friday.

As host of this year’s G20 meetings, Brazil expanded the group’s focus on extreme poverty and hunger, while introducing debate on cooperation to fairly tax the world’s wealthiest – topics also highlighted in the leaders’ joint statement. End.

Forty Billion Not Nearly Enough?

The number of Forty Billion seemed to be the reality. But now One to Three Trillion Dollars is being demanded!

Meanwhile the President-elect will once again withdraw the U.S. from the Paris agreement, as these nations clamor for Trillions of Dollars and Euros.

China and India have not been ordered to cut back on their emissions for years to come, and will continue to receive more handouts as developing nations. What a joke!!!

Tax The Rich Give To The Poor

Now, before the end of the United Nations COP29 summit in Azerbaijan, it seems the figure demanded has been raise from One to TWO TRILLION DOLLARS annually!

The discussion was based on how the wealthier nations should be taxed for these BILLIONS or TRILLIONS, and it was explained how it is possible for the rich to borrow at low interest rates to provide these massive amounts.

Perhaps these nations should create a fund of Trillions to assist the U.S. to pay down their almost THIRTY FIVE TRILLION DOLLAR NATIONAL DEBT which the world has benefitted from, before demanding the U.S. borrows any more.

NBCNEWS By Hannah Peart: THERE WAS NO PHOTO FINISH FOR PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN.

The outgoing American leader arrived for a family picture with world leaders during his final Group of 20 summit Monday, only to find the photo had already been taken without him.

Chinese President Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer were among those who did make it, smiling and raising linked hands for the traditional summit set piece.

A senior U.S. official attributed the mix-up in Rio de Janeiro to logistical challenges.

“Due to logistical issues, they took the family photo early before all the leaders had arrived. So a number of leaders weren’t actually there when they took the photo,” said the senior official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Biden was nowhere to be found until just after the photo was taken, when photographers and reporters began searching frantically for him.

One cameraman spotted him behind a nearby palm tree alongside Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Italian premier Giorgia Meloni.TRUDEAU and Meloni also missed the photo.

When asked whether Biden intentionally skipped the photo to avoid standing near Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the official dismissed the idea “It was just simply logistical issues.” End.

No Nation Would Have Dared

No nation hosting a conference including an American President would have dared to allow this to happen. Each U.S. President has always stood front and centre of every photo.

This displays the present lack of respect for the one nation that has protected each of the nations in attendance since World War Two. And continues to hand out Billions of Dollars.

Trump’s return to White House has foreign governments jockeying for position as they size up his national security team, build up a rapport with the incoming administration and try to get on the Republican’s good side before he follows through on campaign pledges that could strain America’s military and economic alliances.

“Most of the action right now from our trading partners and allies is in trying to make inroads with the incoming president-elect, Trump, and whoever might be his future team,” said Kelly Ann Shaw, who was deputy director of the National Economic Council in his first administration.

Trump vowed to put the squeeze on China and Europe through tariffs and other means during his campaign and has signaled his intent to leave the Paris climate deal again. End.
