NYT pointed out Biden's upset over the end of his term as president

The current head of the United States, Joe Biden, is upset that he is less than a month away from the end of his presidential term. He wants to find solace in his last trip to the Vatican. This was reported by The New York Times on December 26.

As the publication notes, the visit to meet with Pope Francis is scheduled for next month.

"The visit, as White House officials said in releasing a report on Biden's phone call with the pope last week, is officially aimed at discussing world peace," the article said. However, according to a person familiar with the situation, the current president is traveling to the Vatican to "seek solace and 'relief'."

It is noted that his allies often find him in a brooding and sometimes bad mood as the end of his term approaches. To make matters worse, Biden did not answer many questions about his recent decisions, including the pardon of his son Hunter.

The US head also regrets the decision not to sign COVID-19 aid checks, as well as the fact that he had a reputation as the poorest lawmaker in Congress, adds "Gazeta.Ru".

US presidential inauguration - 2025: how and when Trump will take office

The ceremony will be held at the Congressional Building on Capitol Hill

In the presidential election in 2020, Joe Biden won. In the first months of the administration, the Democrat canceled a significant part of the decisions of his predecessor.

In April 2021, Biden announced the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin to restore relations between the two countries. However, after the start of a special military operation in Ukraine, the US imposed several sanctions packages against Russia.

In April 2023, Biden announced that he would run for another presidential term. In June 2024, the first pre-election debate between Biden and Trump took place. During the debate, the Democrat looked confused and kept losing his train of thought. At the end 67% of viewers awarded the victory to the Republican, and Biden was heavily criticized and pressured to stop campaigning. In July, Biden withdrew from the presidential race.

On November 5, the election of the 47th American leader was held, which was won by Trump, receiving 51% of the vote. The next day, the politician said that his goal as head of state considers the cessation of military conflicts in the world. In addition, the Republican promised to "work very hard" to complete the Ukrainian conflict. He noted that any crises must end.
