Biden arrives in Florida as rescue efforts halt over safety concerns

Rescue efforts at the site of a partially collapsed Florida condominium building were halted out of concern about the stability of the remaining structure, officials said. This temporary stop on search and rescue operations came the day that US President Joe Biden arrived in Florida to visit the site and meet with first responders, the families of the victims and local officials. He told local officials the federal government should '"be able to pick up 100% of the cost for the county and the state over the first 30 days."
