Liz Truss and Joe Biden clash over economic policy ahead of US meeting

Liz Truss clashed with Joe Biden over economic policy ahead of a meeting as the sidelines of the United Nations summit, as the US president lashed out at “trickle-down economics”.

Mr Biden said on Tuesday that he was “sick and tired” of the theory that cutting taxes for businesses and the wealthy will see the benefits “trickle down” into the pockets of poorer workers.
