The article from Reuters discusses President Joe Biden's farewell address from the Oval Office as he prepares to leave the White House. Biden reflects on his presidency, highlighting achievements like managing the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, passing significant infrastructure and climate legislation, and navigating international relations amidst tensions with Russia and China.
