Donald Trump repeatedly mentioned Joe Biden during his over two-hour-long cabinet meeting.

On Tuesday (2 December), the US president ripped into Mr Biden and his administration, from falsely claiming that he “inherited the worst inflation in history”, to calling out Biden’s health as he bragged about his own.

The lengthy meeting, which was the first held since the longest government shutdown in US history ceased, touched on a range of topics, from investment in the US, foreign affairs, public safety and the 2020 election. And, of course, Joe Biden.
