Trump slams Biden at Louisiana

Trump stressed his unproven claims regarding corruption in Ukrainian gas company against democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden while there has been no evidence of wrongdoing by either senior Biden or junior Biden.

Louisiana: US President Donald Trump on Friday pressed his argument that the House impeachment inquiry is nothing more than an attempt to overturn his election.

Trump found a sympathetic audience in Louisiana where an arena packed with his supporters roared at his profane denunciations of the proceedings hundreds of miles away in the nation's capital.

Trump also pressed his unproven claims against Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter who sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company when Biden was vice president.

Trump complained about a double standard in news media coverage.

However, there has been no evidence of wrongdoing by either Joe Biden or Hunter Biden.

House Democrats have opened an impeachment inquiry over Trump's dealings with Ukraine in which he asked that country's president during a telephone call in July to investigate Biden.

An intelligence community whistleblower complained that Trump was abusing his office for personal political gain.

President also hailed a temporary truce between the US and China in their 15-month trade war.

Yet the grievances that led them to impose tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of each other's goods remain largely unresolved.

The administration agreed to suspend a tariff hike on $250 billion worth of Chinese imports that was set to take effect on Tuesday. China agreed to buy up to $50 billion in US farm products.
