WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the U.S. economy is stronger because the Biden administration has rejected isolationism, offering thinly veiled criticism of former President Donald Trump’s policies two weeks before the U.S. election. Yellen opened the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank on Tuesday by highlighting economic growth in the United States as the country finds itself in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. Without mentioning Trump by name, she told world financial leaders that the Biden administration had ended a period of international isolationism that had “made America and the world worse off.”
