Biden Claims His Foreign Policy Gives Trump a ‘Powerful Advantage

As President Joe Biden bids farewell to his time in office, he’s making sure to reflect on the impact of his foreign policy efforts. On Monday afternoon, speaking to civil servants at the State Department, he confidently declared that his administration has left the United States in a stronger global position, surrounded by more friends and solid alliances.

In a 30-minute speech, Biden highlighted a range of global issues, from the alliances he helped rebuild to the recent hopeful steps towards a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. He emphasized that during his time in office, the United States took a leadership role in global affairs, distancing itself from the “America First” approach of his predecessor, Donald Trump. Biden’s message? The U.S. is leaving a strong hand to the next administration, with allies who are united and adversaries who are on the defensive.

Biden, reflecting on his long career in public service, said, “We’ve built stronger alliances than ever before,” pointing to how the U.S. led efforts to strengthen NATO and rally the world after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He also took pride in his role in advancing peace talks, such as the Israel-Hamas ceasefire negotiations, which are reportedly closer than ever to success.

However, Biden’s presidency wasn’t without challenges. His handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was a source of criticism, but he defended it, explaining that he was the only president who didn’t leave the messy situation for a successor to manage. While the tragic loss of U.S. service members and Afghan lives during the withdrawal left a mark, Biden stood by his decision, asserting that ending the 20-year war was the right call.

As he nears the end of his term, Biden is hopeful that history will be kind to his foreign policy record. He’s reflected on the state of global affairs, asserting that the U.S. has taken a critical role in promoting freedom and democracy around the world. “If we’re not leading the world, who is?” Biden asked, stressing the importance of American leadership in shaping the future.

Looking ahead, Biden’s supporters believe that history will ultimately judge him more favorably than current opinions might suggest. He’s worked hard to leave the U.S. in a strong position for the challenges that lie ahead, and despite the incoming change in leadership, Biden is confident his legacy will endure.

As Biden prepares to give his final farewell address, he remains focused on shaping how history will remember his efforts to make the world a safer and more cooperative place for all.
