A video clip of President Joe Biden recently emerged in which he can be seen caressing a child. That has met with some negative reactions on social media.

It has been noted that President Joe Biden called on his administration to ratchet up pressure on the Chinese steel industry as he brings his economic competition pitch to Pittsburgh, the heart of the American steel industry, on Wednesday, part of a three-day campaign trail swing through battleground Pennsylvania.
“The bottom line is I want fair competition with China, not conflict,” Biden said in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. “And we’re in a stronger position to win the economic competition in the 21st century against China, or anywhere else, because we’re investing in America and American workers again.”
It is noted that the domestic steel industry remains critical to building everything from cars to appliances, to roads and bridges, and Biden has invested in American manufacturing a key plank of his economic policy – even as voters continue to give him low marks on his handling of the economy.
On Tuesday, the President visited his hometown of Scranton and spoke to union workers about tax policy and the economy. Later this week, he will be in Philadelphia for campaign events. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump is spending most of his week in a New York City courtroom for a criminal trial.
During his speech at the United Steelworkers headquarters, Biden urged the United States Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, to consider increasing the current 7.5% tariff rate on Chinese steel and aluminum by three times. This would be done through a review of the Section 301 tariff rate once the four-year review concludes.
