A victory for Joe Biden. After the Senate on Sunday August 7, the entire US Congress definitively adopted, on Friday August 12, the President of the United States’ major investment plan on climate and health. A significant political success for the Head of State, less than three months from high-stakes legislative elections. “Today the American people won”, wrote Joe Biden on Twitter. With this law, “Families will see lower prices for drugs, health care, and energy costs.”

The text, which should put the country on the right path to meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets, will be signed into law by Joe Biden next week, the president said in the tweet mentioned above.

With their slim majority, Democrats in the House of Representatives pushed through the more than $430 billion plan, following a similar vote in the Senate a few days ago. The text, which should put the country on the right path to achieve its greenhouse gas reduction targets, has yet to be promulgated by Joe Biden.
