Al Jazeera
‘Bombs and bullets cannot defend against COVID-19 or its future variants,’ Biden tells General Assembly, promising ‘relentless diplomacy’.
US President Joe Biden has criticised over-reliance on military power and promised to pursue global diplomacy to tackle international issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and cyber threats.
In his first speech as US president at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Biden called for cooperation in the “global community” to address what he called “urgent and looming crises” across the world.
In calling for multilateralism, Biden drew a contrast with his predecessor Donald Trump – who withdrew the US from several UN agencies, including the World Health Organisation and UN Human Rights Council – without naming him.
