In a somber farewell address, incumbent US President Joe Biden on Wednesday expressed concern that America would fall into the hands of an ‘oligarchy’, targeting, without naming, President-elect Donald Trump and billionaires in the technology now lined up behind it, AFP and Reuters report.
During a brief address of less than 20 minutes, held from the Oval Office at a prime time, Biden was far from the “optimism” declared during his four years in office.
“I want to warn the country about some things that worry me very much,” the 82-year-old Democrat said, five days before handing over power to his biggest rival, the Republican president-elect.
“It’s about the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra-rich people” and “the dangerous consequences if their power is left unfettered,” he said.
