Poland bets on the zloty, delaying euro adoption amid booming growth

Biden Bows Out: A Quiet Farewell on the Global Stage

President Joe Biden's recent trip to South America marked a subdued end to his foreign policy career, overshadowed by the incoming Trump administration. As world leaders focused on Trump's controversial cabinet picks, Biden attempted to highlight his accomplishments, particularly in climate change, but offered few assurances about the future.
