President Joe Biden delivered a major economic speech in Chicago on Wednesday, touting his administration's efforts to spark recovery after Republican policies had crushed America's middle class.

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the nation for the first time since a short-lived armed revolt by the Wagner mercenary group on Saturday.
