Biden To Announce New Gun Regulation – Follow Live

President Joe Biden is expected to announce new gun regulations on Monday to rein in so-called “ghost guns” — privately made firearms without serial numbers that have been used in several high-profile violent crimes.

Mr Biden is expected to nominate Steve Dettlebach, an Obama-era US attorney, to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press.

After his Supreme Court pick Ketanji Brown Jackson’s successful appointment as the first Black woman justice, the confirmation of Mr Dettlebach is expected to be an uphill battle.

Meanwhile, White House press secretary Jen Psaki went on the offensive on Sunday, accusing Republicans of holding federal Covid-19 response funding “hostage” on what many consider to be the GOP’s home turf.

“Title 42 is not an immigration plan or an immigration authority. No one in the administration thinks that. It’s an authority given to the CDC actually by Congress,” Ms Psaki said.

And national security adviser Jake Sullivan has said the US will “not hesitate” to expel additional Russian diplomats from the country for suspected espionage.

Biden to unveil strategy to curb ‘ghost guns’ amid fears of rising crime

The Biden administration will announce new regulations to limit the spread of “ghost guns” as soon as Monday, according to reports.

Inside sources told the Associated Press that the Justice Department is preparing to reveal its long-awaited new rules on untraceable homemade firearms.

Ghost guns are so called because they lack serial numbers and can therefore circumvent background checks and gun licence laws.

Fauci says it’s up to individuals to determine Covid-19 risks amid outbreak among lawmakers

Anthony Fauci has said that it is up to individuals to decide the risk of Covid-19 in gatherings amid an outbreak of coronavirus cases among White House officials and lawmakers, while hinting at the looming risk of a Covid surge in the coming days.

“I think the people who run functions, who run big dinners, who run functions like the White House correspondents’ ball, or thinking back, the Gridiron Dinner, are going to have to make a determination looking at the CDC guidelines and seeing where the trends are,” Dr Fauci told ABC “This Week” host Jonathan Karl.

“I mean, there are some places you go, not only is it required that you show proof of vaccination, but you have to have a negative test the day you go to a particular place.”

At least 67 people, including the White House officials and congressional lawmakers, tested positive for the virus after attending the Gridiron Dinner last week. At least 630 people attended the annual white-tie marquee dinner which was held on 2 April after a hiatus of two years.

Dr Fauci warned against downplaying the risk of Covid because “there are things like long Covid and there are sometimes people even though they don’t require hospitalisation, Jon, they get significantly ill”.

Joe Biden hails his administration for creating 7.9 million jobs

Joe Biden on Sunday claimed that his administration has created more jobs on an average per month than any other president in the history of the US.

“Our economy added 7.9 million jobs since I took office,” he said in a tweet.

“That’s millions of families with a little more breathing room and the dignity a job provides,” he added.

However, the Biden administration is facing heat over rising inflation in the country. The inflation in the US has risen by 8.4 per cent year over year, hitting a 40-year high in March, according to estimates from Bloomberg.

Psaki accuses Republicans of holding Covid funding ‘hostage’ over immigration demand

White House press secretary Jen Psaki went on the offensive on Sunday, accusing Republicans of holding federal Covid-19 response funding “hostage” on what many consider to be the GOP’s home turf.

The top spokeswoman for Joe Biden faced Fox News Sunday guest host Dana Perino, a former White House press secretary herself under George W Bush, where she battled calls from GOP senators to restore the Title 42 rule which allowed Homeland Security agents to turn away migrants at the border due to the risk of Covid-19 spread.

“Title 42 is not an immigration plan or an immigration authority. No one in the administration thinks that. It’s an authority given to the CDC actually by Congress,” Ms Psaki said.

Biden to meet Indian PM Modi virtually as US presses for hard line on Russia

Joe Biden will hold a virtual meeting with Indian prime minister Narendra Modi on Monday as Washington is pressing world leaders to take a harder line on Russia.

The White House said that the two will discuss “ending the Covid-19 pandemic, countering the climate crisis, strengthening the global economy, and upholding a free, open, rules-based international order to bolster security, democracy, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific”.

“President Biden will continue our close consultations on the consequences of Russia’s brutal war against Ukraine and mitigating its destabilising impact on global food supply and commodity markets,” it added.

The meeting precedes a ministerial summit between the US’s secretary of state Antony Blinken and secretary of defence Lloyd Austin, and India’s external affairs minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and defence minister Rajnath Singh, in Washington. That meeting begins today and will continue for five days.

Biden to nominate Obama-era US attorney to lead ATF

Joe Biden is expected to nominate Steve Dettlebach, who served as a US attorney in Ohio from 2009 to 2016, to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, six people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The administration will be responsible for releasing the finalised version of regulations against so-called ghost guns, privately made firearms without serial numbers that are increasingly cropping up at crime scenes.

This comes as the White House and the Justice Department have been under growing pressure to crack down on gun deaths and violent crime in the US.

Mr Dettlebach’s confirmation is likely to be an uphill battle for the Biden administration, however, with Mr Biden already forced to withdraw the nomination of his first ATF pick, gun-control advocate David Chipman, amid Republican opposition.

The process to get nominees for the ATF has remained politically fraught with Republican and Democratic administrations failing to reach an understanding since the director’s position was made confirmable in 2006.
