Quick Glance: Joe Biden Calls for Significant Increase in Tariffs on Chinese Steel

US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

During a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh, Biden calls on trade representative Katherine Tai to raise the tariffs from the current average of 7.5 percent.

The main focus of the measures is to combat China's new export surge and the ongoing price pressure that makes it difficult for American steel companies to compete.

The Biden administration's decision to increase tariffs is expected to impact recent efforts by Washington and Beijing to stabilize relations.

Quick Glance: Franklin: An Entertaining Historical Series

Benjamin Franklin (Michael Douglas) embarks on a secret mission to France to garner support in the war for independence against the English.

The series, with Michael Douglas in the title role, offers an enjoyable portrayal of America's Founding Fathers, although the plot switches between English and subtitled French.

The interplay of intrigue, deception, and diplomatic negotiations as Franklin tries to secure French support is a central focus of the storyline.

Michael Douglas shines with his magnetic personality as Franklin in this pleasurable yet not entirely gripping series about the events leading to the birth of a nation.
