Biden wades into U.K. politics: Tax cut plan was "mistake"

What he's saying: "I wasn’t the only one that thought it was a mistake," Biden said Sunday at a campaign stop in Oregon.

• "I think that the idea of cutting taxes on the super-wealthy at a time when ... I disagreed with the policy, but that’s up to Great Britain to make that judgment, not me," he said.
• Biden, with midterm elections looming and inflation top of mind, added that the American economy remained "strong as hell," but that he is “concerned about the rest of the world.”
• "I'm not concerned about the strength of the dollar," he said.
• "The problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries. It’s worldwide inflation, that’s consequential."

State of play: Biden has previously criticized "trickle-down" economics, which is largely associated with former President Reagan, per Reuters.

• Truss in a U-turn on Friday said she would raise the country's corporate tax rate and implement a hike — a reversal from her original plan that would've cut about $48 billion worth of taxes if implemented fully.
