NEW YORK/WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) – US President Joe Biden has arrived in New York ahead of the upcoming UN general debate. His plane landed at John F. Kennedy Airport in the east coast metropolis on Sunday evening (local time), as journalists traveling with him reported. More than 140 heads of state and government will speak at the general debate at the UN General Assembly for over a week starting Tuesday – including Biden.
Before departure, he was asked by a journalist what he had to say about the Republicans’ threat of possible impeachment proceedings against him. Biden smiled and said, “Good luck.” Biden’s statement should be understood as a sarcastic comment directed at Republicans.
On Tuesday, the Republican leader of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, initiated the first concrete steps towards possible impeachment proceedings against Biden. Even if the procedure is successful in the House of Representatives, it is certain that it will fail in the Senate./nau/DP/zb
