Biden urges US to protect freedom, democracy at symbolic D-Day site
President Joe Biden on Friday urged the United States to protect democracy and follow the example of World War II heroes, in a speech on a clifftop in northern France that was the scene of a bloody confrontation between US troops and occupying Germans on D-Day. The president is set to face Republican rival and predecessor Donald Trump later this year in elections that commentators predict will subject US democracy to a severe test.
