In his farewell foreign policy address, Biden asserts that the US is stronger on the global stage.

Washington: In an attempt to improve his foreign policy record, outgoing President Joe Biden stated Monday that despite unresolved global issues, US foes are weaker now than they were four years ago.

In his farewell foreign policy address, Biden informed American ambassadors that the US is “winning the worldwide competition” in a new global economic and technological era.
Biden remarked, “The United States is winning the worldwide competition compared to four years ago,” to a standing ovation from State Department officials.

In a last foreign policy address a week before Donald Trump’s return to the White House, Joe Biden declared that America was more powerful on the world stage than it has been in decades.

In a speech at the State Department outlining his global legacy, the departing US president criticized Russia, China, and Iran and encouraged the West to continue supporting Ukraine.

As he praised his efforts to mend foreign ties over the past four years following his Republican opponent’s turbulent first term, Biden’s unstated target was Trump.

“America is more powerful. Our competitors and enemies are weaker, and our allies are stronger.”

America’s relations with its friends are the greatest “in decades,” the Democrat continued, adding that members of the NATO military alliance are now “paying their fair share.”

Trump has frequently criticized NATO nations, even going so far as to advise Russia to do “whatever the hell it wants” to members that did not agree with him.

Biden made fun of Russian President Vladimir Putin for the advancement of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, despite the fact that the future president has previously professed affection for Putin.

“Putin believed he could take over Kyiv in a few days when he launched his invasion. According to Biden, “I’m the only person who has stood in the middle of Kyiv since that war started, not him.”

During a top-secret trip to the Ukrainian capital in 2023, Biden became the first sitting US president to visit a conflict zone that was not under American military control.

Washington has committed billions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine since the conflict began in 2022, and he added that the US and its allies “can’t walk away” from the country.
