Biden departs White House wearing USA Olympic team jacket | VOA News
U.S. President Joe Biden departed the White House Friday to spend the weekend in Camp David.
Celebrating its reputation as the cradle of revolution, Paris kicked off its first Summer Olympics in a century Friday with a rule-breaking opening ceremony studded with stars and fantasy, showcasing the city’s resilience as authorities dealt with suspected acts of sabotage that targeted France’s flagship high-speed rail network.
Widespread travel disruptions triggered by what French officials said were coordinated arson attacks on high-speed rail lines and rain in Paris dampened the ceremony as global audiences tuned in for the opening spectacular of the 2024 Games.
But the launch of the opening ceremony at 7:30 p.m. quickly lifted the mood.
