WASHINGTON — President Biden on Wednesday knocked his predecessor Donald Trump in a World AIDS Day speech and claimed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got “even” President George W.

Biden didn’t mention Trump’s surprising 2019 launch of a federal initiative “to eliminate the HIV epidemic in the United States within 10 years.” Trump backed that plan with a final budget request of $716 million to fight HIV/AIDS.

The president gave Bush greater credit later in the event, while regaling the crowd about his own role re-authorizing Bush’s PEPFAR program, which the Republican president proposed in January 2003 before Congress approved an initial $15 billion to aid poor countries.

“Since President Bush launched PEPFAR in 2003, we’ve saved more than 21 million lives
