President Joe Biden is set to deliver a major speech on Monday reflecting on his foreign policy legacy. The address, scheduled to take place at the State Department in Washington, D.C., will focus on Biden's efforts to enhance America’s global standing during his presidency, according to a senior administration official.
In his speech, Biden will outline the progress made since taking office in 2021, highlighting how the United States has strengthened its position globally.
He is expected to emphasize that under his leadership, international alliances and partnerships have reached unprecedented levels of strength and cooperation.
The president will argue that America, rather than its adversaries, holds a dominant global position and that the incoming Trump administration will inherit a stronger foundation than the one he received. Biden will reflect on the challenges he faced upon taking office and how his administration has addressed them effectively.
Topics of focus in the address will include NATO alliances, support for Ukraine, the Indo-Pacific strategy to counter China, and bolstering ties with Israel.
Biden will also revisit the contentious withdrawal from Afghanistan, presenting it as part of his broader foreign policy strategy.
Additional accomplishments Biden will highlight include fostering improved relations between Japan and South Korea, addressing Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, rejoining the Paris Climate Accords, strengthening global supply chains, and advancing artificial intelligence development.
Biden first spoke on foreign policy as president at the State Department in February 2021, pledging to restore America’s role on the global stage.
His administration’s record has been marked by significant events, including the Afghanistan withdrawal, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the recent Israel-Hamas conflict that erupted in Gaza.
As Biden prepares to leave office, his final address aims to underscore his extensive foreign policy experience and the achievements he believes will define his presidency. The speech is expected to set the tone for his legacy on the international stage.
