Biden says he was steady hand world needed after Trump

Deccan Chronicle  

President Joe Biden entered the White House four years ago with a foreign policy agenda focused on repairing alliances strained by four years of Republican Donald Trump's "America First" worldview. Daniel Fried, a former U.S. ambassador to Poland and adviser to Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, said Biden's Ukraine legacy will now largely be shaped by Trump. Aaron David Miller, a former State Department Middle East negotiator, said Biden's approach has put Iran on its heels but will cost him reputationally due to the devastation in Gaza. "It was beyond Joe Biden's emotional and political bandwidth to impose the kinds of sustained or significant pressures that might have led to a change in Israeli tactics."
