Back in the U.S., President Biden released his $1.5 trillion budget request for 2022 on Friday, calling for major increases in spending for education, healthcare, housing and the climate. Biden is requesting $715 billion for the military — a much less significant increase than other areas, though progressives have been demanding a cut in Pentagon spending. Meanwhile, Biden is holding bipartisan talks today on his separate $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan.
