CAMP DAVID, United States — US President Joe Biden said Wednesday that authorities were probing “any possible connection” between a deadly truck-ramming attack in New Orleans and the explosion of a Cybertruck outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas.

Law enforcement are investigating the explosion of the Tesla vehicle “including whether there’s any possible connection with the attack in New Orleans,” Biden told reporters, adding: “Thus far, there’s nothing to report on that score.”
