Biden lays out economic plan

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 700 billion dollars plan would be the biggest investment in the US economy since world war two.

He said the build back better agenda, would spur a manufacturing and technology jobs boom.

The Trump campaign responded that the plan would inflict catastrophe.

November’s election is expected to be dominated by the coronavirus pandemic and its economic fallout, which has pushed tens of millions of Americans into unemployment.

More than 130,000 people have died of the virus.
