In his first full-length interview since leaving office, former President Joe Biden shared his thoughts on Donald Trump's presidency and its effects on America's position in the world.
What Happened: Speaking <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c89g491e8ewo">to</a> BBC&#8217;s Nick Robinson, Biden expressed his disapproval of Trump's rhetoric and foreign policy, particularly his remarks about possibly acquiring Greenland or making Canada the 51st state.
Biden said, "What President ever talks like that? That's not who we are. We're about freedom, democracy, opportunity — not about confiscation."
Biden also took issue with Trump's stance on Ukraine. He said Trump's proposal that Ukraine should cede territory to Russia was "modern day appeasement."
According to Biden, Russian President Vladimir Putin sees Ukraine as part of "Mother Russia," and warned that Trump's suggestion could embolden Russia and drive even more instability in Europe.
Biden also shared his concerns about the Atlantic Alliance and NATO's future, describing the mutual defense pledge a "sacred obligation."
In his view, Trump's flippant attitude towards international alliances could result in a loss of confidence in America's leadership, particularly in Europe. "We did all that — and in four years we've got a guy who wants to walk away from it all," Biden remarked.
In a recent speech in Chicago, Biden said &#8220;nobody&#8217;s king&#8221; in America, implicating Trump. When asked in the BBC interview if he thought President Trump was behaving more like a monarch than a president bound to the Constitution, Biden said, &#8220;He&#8217;s not behaving like a Republican president.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Biden's criticism of Trump comes on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45184463/donald-trumps-support-tanks-early-in-second-term-poll-numbers-paint-grim-picture">major drop in Trump's approval ratings</a> within the first 100 days of his presidency, largely credited to his tariff policies that have shaken global markets.
This is the first time since leaving office that Biden shared his thoughts about Trump in such detail. Trump, on the other hand, has referred to Biden multiple times since taking the oath.
Last month, Trump blamed Biden for causing the country&#8217;s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to shrink by 0.3% in the first quarter, marking the first GDP contraction in three years. Commenting on the stock market downturn at the end of April, Trump said, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45107728/trump-labels-market-decline-bidens-stock-market-as-he-distances-tariffs-from-downturn">&#8220;This is Biden&#8217;s Stock Market, not Trump&#8217;s.&#8221;</a>

General

Biden Says Trump Is 'Not Behaving Like A Republican President:' 'That's Not Who We Are'

In a recent nonpartisan analysis, it was revealed that millions of Americans stand to lose their Medicaid health insurance coverage. This is a result of several proposals by Republican Congress members aimed at reducing spending to back President Donald Trump&#8216;s&nbsp;tax cuts and domestic policy&nbsp;agenda.
What Happened: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) performed an analysis at the request of Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) and Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) The analysis disclosed that millions could lose Medicaid coverage under different proposals put forth by Congressional Republicans.
The CBO analyzed five scenarios reportedly considered by Republicans, estimating Medicaid coverage losses between 2.3 million and 8.6 million people. The proposals include reducing federal funding for states that expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, a move that could save $710 billion but would eliminate coverage for 5.5 million enrollees by 2034. Out of that, 2.4 million will be left without health insurance.
Another proposal involves eliminating state provider taxes, which, according to the CBO, would save the federal government $668 billion but result in 8.6 million people losing Medicaid coverage. It would result in 3.9 million more people being uninsured by 2034.
Notably, Wyden and Pallone did not request a CBO analysis of a proposed Medicaid work requirement for non-disabled enrollees, which House Speaker Mike Johnson says is still under consideration. Republicans have also suggested more frequent eligibility checks and cutting coverage for noncitizens, <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/05/07/cbo-millions-americans-lose-medicaid-coverage/83495422007/">reported </a>USA Today. 
Supporters argue that a work requirement would encourage employment and reduce taxpayer costs, with a 2023 CBO estimate projecting $109 billion in savings over ten years.

Why It Matters: President Donald Trump had previously stated in an interview with&nbsp;TIME Magazine&nbsp;that he would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/25/04/45064937/donald-trump-threatens-to-veto-any-gop-bill-that-touches-medicaid-or-social-security-if-it-cuts-it-i-would-not-approve">veto any bill</a> that trims Social Security or federal health programs, including Medicaid. 
Meanwhile, Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45092912/don-bacon-supports-500b-medicaid-cuts-proposal-including-annual-eligibility-audits-to-preserve-2017-tax-c">expressed his support</a> for $500 billion in Medicaid cuts. This comes as congressional Republicans are striving to preserve the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The proposed cuts include imposing work requirements for able-bodied adults without children, removing undocumented migrants from Medicaid coverage, and requiring annual audits to ensure only eligible individuals receive Medicaid.
However, on Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that Republicans have ruled out cutting federal funding to states that expanded Medicaid and seemed disinclined to support per-capita caps for those states.

A new study published in Nature Climate Change demonstrates that the richest individuals disproportionately contribute to climate extremes.
The analysis shows that only 10% of the global population accounts for the majority of emissions, leading to heatwaves, droughts, and other extreme events that impact millions of lives worldwide.
What Happened: Researchers examined emissions from consumption and investments between 1990 and 2020 within an emulator-based framework.
They discovered that the wealthiest 10% of the world's population are responsible for two-thirds of global warming, while the top 1% alone contributed one-fifth, which is 6.5 and 20 times the average per capita emissions, respectively.
In case of extreme weather events, the top 10% were behind 7 times the average contribution to increases in 1-in-100-year monthly heat extremes, while the top 1% contributed 26 times more.
When it comes to Amazon droughts, their contributions were 6 times and 17 times the average, respectively. Emissions from the richest 10% in the U.S. and China led to a two-to-threefold increase in heat extremes across already at-risk areas.

Why It Matters: Authors of the study note that extreme weather linked to climate change has led to an average of $143 billion in annual damages over the past twenty years.
In 2019, the wealthiest 10% of the global population drove almost half of all emissions from consumption and investments, while the poorest 50% were responsible for just one-tenth.
"At the same time, regions with low historic emissions and income levels are typically more frequently and severely exposed to climate impacts and have limited resources for adaptation," they add.
The study comes on the heels of a recent statement from Bill Gates, who said rich countries "owe it to the world" to get themselves down to net-zero emissions.

Toyota Motor Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) has projected a one-fifth decline in operating profit for the fiscal year ending March 2026, citing significant headwinds from President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff policies and a stronger yen just one year after posting record earnings. 
What Happened: Toyota CEO Koji Sato announced Thursday that the world&#8217;s largest automaker expects a $1.3 billion financial impact from U.S. tariffs in April and May alone, with future effects &#8220;very difficult to forecast&#8221; due to extreme uncertainty in global trade relations, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/business/toyota-earnings-trump-tariffs.html">reported</a> the New York Times. 
&#8220;The current environment surrounding the auto industry, including trade relations, is in extreme flux,&#8221; Sato said during a briefing. 
The somber outlook represents a dramatic reversal from May 2024, when Toyota reported the highest annual profit ever recorded by a Japanese firm.

Why it matters: According to JPMorgan analyst Akira Kishimoto, Japanese automakers collectively could face a potential hit of 4.46 trillion yen (about $29.44 billion) from the tariffs, though Toyota <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45049101/toyota-eyes-major-shakeup-with-42-billion-offer-for-toyota-industries">remains JPMorgan&#8217;s top pick given its resilience</a> and strong fundamentals.
Toyota is reportedly considering shifting production of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44909696/toyota-eyes-us-assembly-of-rav4-in-kentucky-as-a-shield-against-trumps-tariffs">next-generation RAV4 SUV to Kentucky</a> by 2027 to bypass the tariffs, according to Reuters. The RAV4 was America&#8217;s best-selling vehicle in 2024, with over 475,000 units sold, representing approximately 20% of Toyota&#8217;s total U.S. vehicle sales.
Other automakers have made similar downward revisions, with General Motors lowering its 2025 profit forecast by over 20% last week, citing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45150325/gm-cut-its-2025-forecast-on-tariffs-but-core-business-holds-up-says-goldman-sachs">projected cost increases of $4 billion or more</a> from the Trump tariffs.

As the market grapples with uncertainties amid the ongoing policy disruption and tariff battle, Jurrien Timmer, director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, suggests that a simple look at the S&amp;P 500 chart offers a compelling answer for those pondering their next move: &#8220;long.&#8221;
What Happened: In a recent X post accompanied by a 10-year S&amp;P 500 index chart, Timmer presented a straightforward yet insightful perspective. He posed the question, &#8220;At times of uncertainty, I find it useful to pull up a simple chart of the S&amp;P 500 and ask myself: do I want to be long or short this chart?&#8221;
His conclusion, drawn from the technical patterns displayed, leans firmly toward establishing or adding to &#8220;long&#8221; positions.
The chart, tracking the weekly performance of the S&amp;P 500 and its 200-day moving average, highlights a consistent rising uptrend line that has provided a general floor for the market over the years. Notably, Timmer points out the recent market action, where the index swung from a position significantly above this trendline to one considerably below it.
According to the data presented, the S&amp;P 500 appears to have gravitated back to this long-term uptrend line. This convergence, according to Timmer, &#8220;suggests that the market has found its balance.&#8221;
Timmer&#8217;s analysis hinges on core technical analysis principles. The rising uptrend line typically indicates sustained buying interest and a general positive trajectory for the asset. A temporary dip below this line can often be interpreted as an oversold condition, presenting a potential buying opportunity as the market seeks to revert to its established trend.

Why It Matters: Despite Timmer&#8217;s personal views based on his analysis, investors could potentially consider having &#8220;long&#8221; positions; however, the decision to be &#8220;long&#8221; or &#8220;short&#8221; rests with each individual investor.

Market Summary

S&P 500 Chart Indicates Adding 'Long' Positions As Expert Says 'Market Has Found Its Balance'

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has refused Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) attempt to trademark the term "Robotaxi."
What Happened: The USPTO issued a ‘Nonfinal Office Action' notice to Elon Musk's company on Tuesday, a filing by the agency revealed.
The agency said that it refused to grant the trademark as the term is "Merely Descriptive." Another trademark for Tesla's ride-hailing service is still under review.
"Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes a feature, ingredient, characteristic, purpose, function, intended audience of the applicant's goods and/or services," the filing stated.
The agency also said that the term &#8220;Robotaxi&#8221; is used generically by autonomous ride-sharing companies. However, USPTO stated that Tesla can provide evidence to support its trademark claim.
These can include "Fact sheets, instruction manuals, brochures, advertisements and pertinent screenshots of applicant's website as it relates to the goods and/or services in the application, including any materials using the terms in the applied-for mark."
Additionally, the agency also halted Tesla's Cybercab trademark. "Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion," with other similar trademark applications, the agency said.
Why It Matters: The decision comes as Musk and Tesla are gearing up to launch the company's Robotaxi service next month in Austin, Texas. Musk reiterated at the company's recent Q1 Earnings Call that Tesla would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44943387/elon-musk-shares-fsd-update-at-tesla-earnings-call-10-to-20-model-ys-will-offer-paid-robotaxi-rides-in-june">deploy 10 to 20 Model Ys </a>on Robotaxi launch day.
The EV giant has also begun operating its robotaxi services in a limited rollout for employees, and has completed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44972108/tesla-quietly-launched-robotaxi-service-for-employees-before-june-debut-now-reports-1500-completed-trips">more than 1,500 trips </a>in Austin as well as the San Francisco Bay Area.
Elsewhere, the autonomous taxi segment is steadily growing in the U.S. as ride-hailing giant Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45162888/uber-heats-up-robotaxi-battle-against-tesla-waymo-with-may-mobility-deal"> announced a partnership </a>with May Mobility to operate thousands of robotaxis on its platform.
