Biden Expresses Concerns Over Peaceful Transition Of Power If Trump Loses
US President Joe Biden has cast doubt on a peaceful transition of power if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November, citing Trump’s previous comments about a potential “bloodbath” if he loses.
In his first interview since dropping out of the presidential race last month, Biden told CBS News: “If Trump loses, I’m not confident at all… He means what he says, we don’t take him seriously. He means it, all this stuff about ‘if we lose it will be a bloodbath’.”
Biden’s concerns stem from Trump’s comments in March, where he said it would “be a bloodbath for the country” if he loses the election. Democrats quickly criticized Trump’s remarks, accusing him of threatening democracy. The Biden campaign used the comment in a social media ad, and a spokesman accused Trump of “encouraging and excusing political violence.”
The Trump campaign responded by saying the comment was taken out of context and specifically referred to the auto industry. Trump himself wrote on social media that his opponents had “viciously” misquoted him, and that he was only discussing the impact of imports on the automobile industry. B
iden has previously expressed concerns that Trump would not accept the election results, citing Trump’s repeated unfounded claims of election fraud in 2020. Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol building in January 2021 in an effort to stop the election result from being certified.
In the CBS interview, Biden also suggested that there were efforts to complicate the post-election certification processes, saying: “Look what they’re trying to do now, in the local election districts where people count the votes… You can’t love your country only when you win.”

The Nigeria-Biafra Civil War is a critical issue that we explore in depth. Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, is demanding a public apology and ₦10 trillion in compensation from President Bola Tinubu for the atrocities committed against the Igbo people during the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War. This demand comes on the heels of former military leader General Ibrahim Babangida’s revelation that the 1966 coup was not an Igbo-led conspiracy, as previously alleged.
We also analyze the implications of the US 2025 Visa Waiver Programme, exploring its effects on global mobility, economic development, and national security. The programme allows citizens of 40 eligible countries to travel to the US without a visa, raising important questions about the impact on diaspora communities.
Nigeria’s economic reforms are another key issue that we examine. Critics argue that these reforms disproportionately affect the poor, and we explore alternative solutions that prioritize economic justice and equality.
Climate change is a pressing global issue, and we highlight the urgent need for collective action, sustainable solutions, and global cooperation. Grenada’s Prime Minister has made a passionate plea for climate change partnership at the CARICOM meeting, emphasizing the devastating impacts of climate change on the Caribbean region.
Finland’s seasonal work permit applications are also explored, providing opportunities for foreign workers to contribute to the country’s economy. We delve into the details of the programme, its benefits, and the requirements for eligibility.
Furthermore, we celebrate Ayra Starr’s milestone achievement as the first African female artist to win the Best International Act award at the MOBO Awards. This achievement highlights the significance of African representation in the global music industry.
In this edition of Diaspora Watch, we tackle the tough issues, celebrate the triumphs, and explore the complexities of our global village.

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) has suspended health contracts worldwide, leaving critical healthcare programs and assistance in jeopardy.
The decision, part of a review aimed at aligning
foreign aid with the Trump administration’s “America First” policy, has resulted in the termination of more than 90% of global health
programs, including those addressing HIV, malaria, maternal health, and other vital services.
The sudden and widespread cuts have sparked
widespread concern among health experts and organizations, who warn that the move will have devastating consequences for millions of people worldwide.
“The US funding cuts are dismantling the system. HIV treatment is crumbling. TB services are collapsing… Lives are on the line,” said International AIDS Society President Beatriz Grinsztejn, whose organization is not directly affected by the cuts.
In South Africa, several of the largest US-funded HIV/AIDS programs have been informed that their funding will not resume, leaving vulnerable groups, including LGBT+ individuals and sex workers, without access to critical healthcare services.
A major global non-profit working on malaria and maternal and newborn health has also had most of its contracts cancelled.
The US State Department has remained tight-lipped about the criteria used for the terminations, and it remains unclear how many organizations worldwide have been affected.
However, documents reviewed by Reuters confirm that UNAIDS, the UN agency dedicated to tackling HIV and AIDS, has had its contract with USAID cancelled.
The move has sparked widespread criticism, with many arguing that the cuts will undermine global health progress and put millions of lives at risk.
“This is a devastating blow to global health efforts,” said a spokesperson for the Global Health Council. “The US has long been a leader in global health, and these cuts will have far-reaching consequences for some of
the world’s most vulnerable populations.”
