Biden sets out 'Buy American' economic plan
Jul 10, 2020 50 secs

Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden has laid out his rescue plan for the coronavirus-crippled US economy, while berating President Donald Trump as incompetent.

Mr Biden said his $700bn (£560bn) plan would be the biggest investment in the US economy since World War Two.

The "Build Back Better" agenda, he said, would spur a manufacturing and technology jobs boom.

The Trump campaign responded that the plan would inflict "catastrophe".

Opinion polls show Mr Biden with an almost double-digit lead over Mr Trump.

A key theme of his plan, Mr Biden said, was to "Buy American".

But Mr Biden said Mr Trump had failed to "bring back jobs and manufacturing" and, during the pandemic, had protected wealthy "cronies and pals" instead of working-class families.

The Trump campaign took a dim view of Mr Biden's economic proposals

"Mr Biden's wilful attack on our jobs, our families, and the American way of life will reverse all the gains we've made together and plunge us into economic catastrophe," spokesman Hogan Gidley said
