WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden is postponing a planned trip to Germany and Angola to remain at the White House to monitor Hurricane Milton, which is bearing down on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the White House announced on Tuesday.
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the change was necessary “given the projected trajectory and strength” of the storm.
It was not clear when the trip might be rescheduled. Biden had promised to go to Africa during his term in office, which ends in January.

Kosovo takes in migrants deported by US: PM
PRISTINA: Kosovo has started accepting migrants that the United States wants to deport, under an accord with President Donald Trump’s administration, Prime Minister Albin Kurti said.
“We are accepting those whom the United States does not want on its territory,” Kurti said a television interview late Thursday, adding that one or two of the migrants had arrived in the Balkan state.
Under the accord reached in June, Kosovo could accept up to 50 people, according to the Kurti government. The agreement was to last one year.
Kosovo, one of Europe’s poorest countries, wanted through the accord to express its “eternal gratitude” for US support since it broke away from Serbia in 2008, the government said at the time.
Kurti came to power in February but his government has since fallen and a new election will be held on December 28.
The United States has had harsh words for Kurti’s party, accusing it of “undermining the stability” of Kosovo by preventing a Serbian political party from running in the December elections.
Kosovo has also ratified an agreement with Denmark to host foreign prisoners convicted in the country, who will be able to serve sentences in a Kosovo prison.
