PADA Ahad lalu, Amerika Syarikat (AS) meraikan hari ulang tahun kemerdekaan kali ke-245 tahun selepas 13 koloni Amerika ketika itu bertindak memutuskan hubungan dengan Britain pada 4 Julai 1776.
Setelah kemerdekaan itu, AS kemudian berkembang menjadi sebuah negara besar selain merupakan kuasa ekonomi di dunia yang kini mempunyai 50 buah negeri dan sebuah wilayah pentadbiran dikenali sebagai Washington D.C.
Pada Ahad lalu juga, Presiden AS, Joe Biden mengumumkan bahawa negara tersebut sedang berada dalam pemulihan daripada pandemik Covid-19 selepas program vaksinasi secara besar-besaran dilakukan di negaranya.
Dalam ucapannya di hadapan kira-kira 1,000 orang yang terdiri daripada anggota tentera dan bekerja dalam perkhidmatan penting di laman Rumah Putih pada hari tersebut, beliau berkata bahawa walaupun negara tersebut sedang berada dalam proses pemulihan tetapi Covid-19 masih belum dapat dihapuskan di AS.
