President Biden, standing alongside U.S. soccer player Megan Rapinoe, signed a proclamation naming March 24 as National Equal Pay Day.
At White House, Megan Rapinoe says she’s been ‘disrespected and dismissed because I am a woman’
Mar. 25 - Megan Rapinoe took the U.S. women’s national soccer team’s battle for equal pay to the White House on Wednesday, declaring while on a stage with President Biden and first lady Jill Biden that, despite her enormous success with the team, “I have been devalued, I’ve been disrespected and dismissed because I am a woman.”
Speaking at an event marking Equal Pay Day, Rapinoe declared: “Despite all of the wins, I am still paid less than men who do the same job that I do. For each trophy — of which there are many — for each win, each tie and for each time that we play, it’s less.”
Rapinoe, who testified earlier in the day about gender discrimination at a hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, introduced President Biden as “one of our greatest allies.” more details

Top U.S. diplomat warns China threatens NATO security, calls for joint approach to counter Beijing
Mar. 25, WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a strong rebuke Wednesday of China’s sweeping use of coercive measures and urged NATO allies to work with the U.S. in order to mount pushback on Beijing.
Blinken, in an address at NATO headquarters in Brussels, said the U.S. wouldn’t force its European allies into an “us or them choice.” However, he made clear that Washington views China as an economic and security threat, particularly in the realm of technology, to NATO allies in Europe.
“There’s no question that Beijing’s coercive behavior threatens our collective security and prosperity and that it is actively working to undercut the rules of the international system and the values we and our allies share,” Blinken said after holding two days of consultations with NATO allies. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, is an alliance made up of 30 member nations.
The secretary said there is still space to cooperate with China on common challenges like climate change and health security, but called for NATO to stand together when Beijing coerces one of the alliance’s members.
“We know that our allies have complex relationships with China that won’t always align perfectly with ours. But we need to navigate these challenges together. That means working with our allies to close the gaps in areas like technology and infrastructure, where Beijing is exploiting to exert coercive pressure,” Blinken said.
“When one of us is coerced we should respond as allies and work together to reduce our vulnerability by insuring our economies are more integrated with each other,” America’s top diplomat said.
Blinken called out China’s militarization of the South China Sea, use of predatory economics, intellectual property theft and human rights abuses. more details

How is Moscow-Washington Tension Affecting Syria?
Tensions between Washington and Moscow will have various repercussions for Syria, writes Marwan Qabalan for Al-Araby Al-Jadeed.
Mar. 25 - In an unusual precedent in the history of Russian-American relations, US President Joe Biden, in a television interview, described his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, as a “murderer.” This escalation against Putin has left many comfortable, especially since President Biden did say the truth, for Putin is a murderer indeed.
Biden’s words bring about a short-term emotional charge and long-term consequences for Syria.
Some believe that Biden’s hard-line stance against Putin will contribute to limiting the Russian role, which has flattened in Syria and the whole region, due to the fact that the US turned a blind eye towards the region during the Trump administration. However, some forget the fact that the Russian role in the region did increase — including the intervention in Syria — during the Obama-Biden era, and that Russia burned down, before their eyes, entire Syrian cities. Do you remember, for example, eastern Aleppo between July and December 2016? The most important thing that we must not miss is that Syria paid the highest price for the Russian-American conflict in Ukraine in 2014. continue to read
