US President Joe Biden speaks on how "Bidenomics" is helping clean energy and manufacturing, at Arcosa Wind Towers in Belen, New Mexico, on August 9, 2023. WASHINGTON — The White House unveiled a nearly $40 billion supplemental funding request on Thursday to provide additional aid to Ukraine and respond to natural disasters, including wildland firefighter pay and border management. The White House is seeking $12 billion for ongoing disaster relief, $60 million to cover pay increases for firefighters and $3.9 billion to address border and migration issues. President Joe Biden said FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell would be on Maui by Friday, but he warned the danger is "not over yet." Biden's request also seeks over $24 billion in additional funding for Ukraine's slow-moving defense against Russia's illegal invasion.

US President Joe Biden speaks on how "Bidenomics" is helping clean energy and manufacturing, at Arcosa Wind Towers in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on August 9, 2023. WASHINGTON — Despite a small rise in inflation last month over June's rate, President Joe Biden on Thursday insisted that July's consumer price index of 3.2% was only one facet of a broader picture of U.S. economic strength. "We've made this progress while maintaining the broad strength of our economy," he said, noting that unemployment remained near 50 year lows. And while 3.2% is technically an increase over June's year-over-year rate of 3.0%, it is below analysts' estimates of 3.3%. Still, there are signs the strong economy is not paying political dividends to the president, at least not yet.

REUTERS/Jonathan ErnstAug 10 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Thursday will weigh lifting a Louisiana judge's order limiting the Biden administration's ability to communicate with social media companies to urge them to moderate information it deems harmful or misleading. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans is set to hear arguments in the administration's appeal of the judge's ruling, which found that the government wrongly pushed social media firms to suppress disfavored political views. The Biden administration quickly appealed, and the 5th Circuit temporarily put the judge's ruling on hold while it heard the case. The administration denies forcing social media companies to take down any posts. The panel that will hear the Biden administration's appeal includes three judges who were all appointed by Republican presidents, U.S.

The Biden administration's executive order restricting U.S. private equity and venture capital investments in Chinese technology finally landed on Wednesday. For U.S. tech investors who'd already grown wary of the budding cross-Pacific rivalry, the ruling is the clearest signal yet that the world's second-biggest economy is off limits. Biden is specifically targeting investments in technologies like semiconductors, quantum computing and artificial intelligence on concern that China's advancements in those areas run counter to U.S. national security interests. U.S. investors have been steadily retreating from China due to a combination of a weakening economy and the fraught geopolitical environment. "Most investors want to avoid being seen as acting against U.S. national security interests."

U.S. President Joe Biden delivers remarks on the economy at Arcosa, a wind tower manufacturing facility, in Belen, New Mexico, August 9, 2023. President Joe Biden visited a former Solo cup factory that has been renovated into a wind tower plant in Belen, New Mexico on Wednesday, where he hailed his green energy economic plan at a groundbreaking for the new facility. "For the longest time we've been told to give up on American manufacturing — that it can't happen again," Biden said. The event at the wind tower plant coincided with the year anniversary of the signing of the Chips and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed a week later. The White House said that after the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, Arcosa received $1.1 billion in new wind tower orders, prompting it to build this new plant.

REUTERS/Jonathan ErnstBELEN, New Mexico, Aug 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden took his economic pitch to New Mexico on Wednesday to boast how his signature legislation helped turn a previously shuttered facility into a wind tower manufacturing facility. Biden said previous administrations promised to invest in U.S. manufacturing, only to see jobs and capital move abroad. Antonio Carrillo, CEO of Arcosa (ACA.N), said his company and the wind power industry were struggling before the infusion of new funds from Washington. After the IRA passed, he said he received its biggest order for wind towers.
