Joe Biden has spent the first weeks of his presidency getting in touch with US allies all over the world to reaffirm ties but has yet to give a clear outline of his administration’s approach to foreign policy. Biden is expected to make his first major address regarding foreign policy today.
Administration officials have revealed that Biden is set to make his first major foreign policy address today to unveil his administration’s approach to global affairs. This would be his first foreign policy address as president. Biden is also expected to visit the State Department today as well to meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and other officials to thank them for their work. The president is also expected to sign a number of executive actions that are related to his efforts for a new approach on the global stage as well as establishing a task force that would reunite the children that were separated from their parents at the border.
Biden and his administration is set to tackle the foreign policy challenges from previous administrations such as the war in Afghanistan, to the tensions in Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia. In his call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Biden immediately raised his concerns regarding the bounties on US soldiers as well as the election interference and extending the five-year arms reduction treaty. Shortly after taking office, Biden immediately rejoined the US in the Paris Climate Agreement and the WHO that Donald Trump withdrew from.
In another stark contrast from Trump, Biden has also previously said he plans to engage with Iran diplomatically and continue challenging China.
Another action Biden took shortly after taking office was to shut down the Keystone XL pipeline that brought oil from Canada to Texas which also received criticism. However, those who also opposed other pipelines are hoping that Biden would take action on those as well.
The Biden administration has yet to specify what action to take on other pipelines such as the Dakota Access pipeline, the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline, Line 5, and Mountain Valley pipelines. However, experts expressed doubts that there would be immediate changes.
