President Joe Biden Reflects On Achievements In Foreign Policy And US Strength

US President Joe Biden reflected on his administration’s handling of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Monday, emphasizing the achievement of two primary objectives: rallying global support for Ukraine and preventing a conflict between nuclear powers.

During a foreign policy address, Biden discussed his administration’s successes, stating, “As I saw it, when Putin launched his invasion, I had two jobs: to rally the world to defend Ukraine and avoid war between two nuclear powers…We did both.”

Biden also highlighted the groundwork laid by his administration for continued support for Ukraine, stating, “And we’ve laid the foundation for the next administration to preserve a bright future for the Ukrainian people.”

The President noted that under his leadership, America had grown stronger both domestically and internationally. “Since Kamala (Harris) and I took office, our nation has become stronger at home and in the world,” Biden said. “America today is more capable and prepared than we have been for a long time.”

Biden further emphasized the strengthening of alliances and the weakening of adversaries, specifically pointing to improvements in NATO. He pointed out that prior to his administration, only nine NATO allies were meeting the 2% GDP defense spending target. Now, 23 NATO allies are meeting that benchmark.

“Before I took office, 9 of our NATO allies were spending 2 per cent of GDP on defence…Now, 23 are…Our alliances are stronger than they’ve been in decades and NATO is bigger and more capable than ever,” Biden said, reflecting on the revitalization of the alliance under his presidency.
