Watch live as Joe Biden delivers remarks on the America Jobs Plan

US president Joe Biden is expected to deliver remarks on the American Jobs Plan. President Joe Biden plans to “rebuild” the American economy with a $2 trillion (£1.4 trillion) overhaul of the country’s transportation systems, electrical grid, and other infrastructure aimed at positioning the US to compete with an increasingly ambitious China.

The American Jobs Plan and the Made in America Tax Plan will serve as companion legislation to the $1.9 (£1.3 trillion) trillion coronavirus relief package which Mr Biden signed into law earlier this month, and are both meant to “unify and mobilize” the country against twin “great challenges” of climate change and “the ambitions of an autocratic China”.
