Amidst the return of farmers to Brussels for the third time in two months to protest against the European agricultural policy, tensions escalated briefly, leading to outbreaks of hostility and fires across the capital's EU district, including within a metro station. The demonstration on Tuesday witnessed the ignition of hay bales and the spraying of manure across the streets in the Schuman area. Additionally, the stairs at the Maelbeek underpass were swiftly obstructed as hay and debris were hurled down and subsequently set ablaze by the protesting farmers.

Additionally, short-term plan providers must
clearly explain benefit limitations to consumers. .
The president really believes
the American people do not want
to be taken for suckers and junk insurance takes them for suckers, Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser, via statement.
Short-term insurance is intended to temporarily serve as a safety net for periods of transition,
such as switching jobs or prior to receiving Medicare.
However, critics call these plans
"junk insurance" because they're often misleading as far as what they actually cover.
ABC News reports that the plans aren't required to cover those with preexisting conditions or pay for prescription drugs.
In 2018, Trump expanded short-term plans and referred to them as "much less expensive health care at a much lower price.".
Neera Tanden, Biden's domestic policy adviser,
said that Trump undermined the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) when he allowed insurance companies to
sell inadequate short-term plans.
