[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunwoo Lee] Joe Biden, former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate in the United States, stated on July 4th (local time), in a message released to mark Independence Day, that he will work to eradicate racial discrimination. This stands in contrast to President Donald Trump's message accusing anti-racism protesters of trying to erase American history, drawing significant attention.

In his Independence Day video address, Biden said, "America was founded on one clear principle: that all are created equal." He added, "We have an opportunity to eliminate the roots of systemic racism in America and allow those who have been marginalized, vilified, and oppressed to enjoy the American Dream."

This contrasts with President Trump's criticism the previous day at the Independence Day ceremony held at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, where he accused anti-racism protesters of damaging monuments of historical figures and attempting to erase American history.

Biden's presidential campaign also openly criticized President Trump's speech. In a statement regarding Trump's Independence Day address, the Biden camp said, "President Trump ignores the vulnerable, the unemployed, the Constitution, and the military, focusing solely on his own interests," and added, "Because of this divisive president, the entire nation is suffering."

The Biden campaign asserted, "In contrast, candidate Biden is fighting for the spirit of America and striving to unite the American people," and "He will also work to strengthen the middle class."
