US President Joe Biden has criticized former President Donald Trump for spreading disinformation about the government’s response to recent hurricanes that have caused significant damage and loss of life in the US.
In a press appearance addressing the impact of Hurricane Milton, Biden dismissed Trump’s remarks as “disinformation” and urged him to focus on helping those affected by the storms. He emphasized the need for accountability in the face of misinformation and lies that have put emergency response workers at risk.
Biden also avoided commenting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans to attack Iran, hinting that Netanyahu was coming to help with the storm. He previously urged Israel not to target Iranian facilities and offered military assistance and diplomatic support as an alternative.
The president’s firm response to Trump’s rhetoric and commitment to holding him accountable has sparked debate and intrigue among the media and public. As the nation grapples with the aftermath of the hurricanes, Biden’s words signal a stance against misinformation and a call for unity in recovery efforts.
