Biden and G-7 partners launch infrastructure initiative for developing countries
CBSN
In his meetings with G-7 leaders this weekend, President Biden has implicitly distinguished himself from his predecessor, who largely rejected multilateralism in favor of a go-it-alone foreign policy. Mr. Biden has focused on strengthening global ties, and urged fellow democratic leaders to do more to compete with China as a unified front.
Mr. Biden has also sought to restore the United States' reputation as a global leader, renouncing President Trump's strategy of "America First." On Saturday, the White House announced a "Build Back Better World" initiative to "help meet the tremendous infrastructure need in low- and middle-income countries," according to a fact sheet. The name is a play on Mr. Biden's frequently used slogan to promote improving infrastructure at home.More Related News
