Donald Trump, campaigning in Iowa, reiterated his confidence in his victory in the upcoming November presidential election. Three years after the Capitol assault, and amidst controversies and legal proceedings, Trump remains resolutely optimistic. In a speech lasting over two hours in Newton, the former president criticized Joe Biden, labeling him the “worst” president in U.S. history and mocking his age. Trump, who accuses Biden of “stealing” the 2020 election, is gearing up for the Republican primaries, starting in Iowa.

AGOA: US Formally Removes Many African Countries
