Joe Biden speech today LIVE – President giving address at United Nations after announcing Covid travel ban will end

JOE Biden is set to give his first address before the U.N. General Assembly today in New York City.

President Biden is expected to reassure other nations of American leadership on the global stage and call on allies to move quickly to address the festering issues of the Covid pandemic, climate change, and human rights abuses.

Ahead of his address, the White House announced plans to ease foreign travel restrictions to the U.S. beginning in November.

The U.S. has largely restricted travel by non-U.S. citizens coming from Europe since the start of the pandemic, an issue that had become a point of contention in trans-Atlantic relations.

The new rules will allow foreigners in if they have proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test, the White House said Monday.

Biden planned to limit his time at the United Nations due to coronavirus concerns.
