Biden announces major US foreign policy shifts

President Joe Biden announced 'America is back' and declared 'diplomacy is back at the center' of US foreign policy as he announced the US will end all support for offensive operations in Yemen and will appoint an envoy to focus on the long-standing conflict, one of several changes he announced in his first major foreign policy speech since taking office.
Biden's announcement at the State Department was just one of the significant changes he said he will make to US foreign policy, including a freeze on troop redeployments from Germany, and raising the cap for refugees allowed into the US.
Biden delivered his speech after making less formal remarks to State Department employees, telling them "we're going rebuild our alliances. We're going reengage the world and take on the enormous challenges we face dealing with the pandemic, dealing with global warming and again standing up for democracy and human rights around the world."
The President, who visited the State Department Thursday with Vice President Kamala Harris, used the speech not only to unveil policy changes, fulfill campaign promises and reverse Trump administration policies, but also to reassert US global leadership and realign foreign policy to better service the middle class.
"Everything" the Biden administration does when it comes to foreign policy will be examined as to whether it makes life "better, safer and easier for working families," National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters in a briefing to preview the President's remarks.

  1. If President Biden would name Dolly Parton as domestic Ambassador of Positivity,we’ll be well on our way to what we should be!

    1. @kaiss-kc kcdont see why you had to be unnecessarily rude at the end, but dolly parton is a singer who is also known for being very philanthropic.

    2. @kaiss-kc kc easy. You would have a hard time without American arm sales to Israel that keep back the enemies at bay, at your gates. Even the dumb ones built those offensive & defencive weapons as well as aircraft that keep your ability to fight off aggression.
      Yes I’m sure a great deal of people outside the u.s. no more about the world. But when somebody needs help. It’s America that they look too.

  2. Two weeks of Biden’s Presidency and a 27 minute speech has produced more benefit to the United States than the last four years of incompetence, belligerence, bloviating idiocy, cosying up to authoritarian leaders, breakdown in alliances, boorish, indecent arrogance towards Western leaders, and breaching international agreements.

  3. AMERICA IS BACK! It’s about time. Time for the United States to be reconnected to the world once again. Rebuild our alliances in South Korea, Japan, Australia, the UK, and other partners. And get tough on China and North Korea. And also punish Russia and Iran for their cyber attacks on American institutions. IT MUST END NOW!

    1. America would be better off with reality, not religion. Most of the crazies on 1/6 /21 were evangelical delusional nut bags

    1. I’d be honored if some fellow citizens would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performance of DANCING IN THE DARK by Bruce Springsteen on my YT channel in tribute to the United States of America and our 46th President, Joseph R. Biden. Peace and stay safe.

  4. Well done president Biden!! Great decisions. Ending the war in Yemen is one of them ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘โค๏ธโค๏ธโš–๏ธโš–๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  5. President BIDEN AM PROUD of you for what you DONE God bless you and your families also God bless the United of america.๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

    1. You are decieved… puts his hand on the bible all the while rushing in the most aggressive baby killing laws ever.

  6. Some will have to lookup a lot of words in the dictionary…cooperation, alliance’s, shared concerns, united, and the most difficult one….democracy….

  7. The US past 4 years enabled an enormous “let loose” of decency & empathy throughout our world. If people don’t see decency & empathy being practised by those we “think the world” about, “we the people” won’t probably wrestle with ourselves out of “personal grace”. We’re famous for that individual shyness, History proves it abundantly.
