President Joe Biden promises to earn back trust of civilians
Biden has made it clear he to proliferate America’s alliances after four years in which former President Donald Trump alienated key U.S. partners with his antic style and erratic, sometimes punitive foreign policies.
Biden’s visceral appeal to America’s allies represents a 180-degree turnaround from the Trump era, and some European diplomats may still be suffering from whiplash.
“That, in my view, is our galvanizing mission,” Biden told other world leaders, in his first speech to an international audience since taking office.
President Joe Biden issued a clarion call on Friday to the world’s democracies, saying representative governments are “under assault” from authoritarian regimes seeking to dominate the global order.
“We must demonstrate that democracy can still deliver for our people in this changing world,” Biden said during a virtual session of the Munich Security Conference.
