Associated Press World View: Asian Americans Grieve, Pandemic Politics, Astra Zenica Study, More

March 18, 2021

Alternate text

Good morning from Warsaw. Asian Americans are grieving after an attack on Atlanta-area massage parlors that killed eight people, mostly Asian women. The white gunman has been charged in the killings as investigators seek a motive in the worst mass killing in the U.S in almost two years.

President Joe Biden gives little credit to Donald Trump as the U.S. sees a pandemic recovery.

Meanwhile, Republicans seize on Trump’s trademark issue of immigration as they try to regain the upper hand in the face of Biden’s early popularity.

Also this morning:

  • World awaits review from Europe’s medical regulator on whether AstraZeneca shots are linked to blood clots
  • Ford says remote work will outlast pandemic for thousands of its workers
  • 15th-century Chinese bowl found at yard sale sells for $722,00
