Biden says 'Trump did not leave a very good situation' internationally
Fox News
Speaking to the AFL-CIO on Tuesday, President Biden said former President Donald Trump "did not leave a very good situation" internationally.
"I travel the world trying to put things back together. You know, Trump did not leave a very good situation," Biden said. "You think I'm kidding? No matter where I go in the world, whether it was the Inter-American Conference we just had for this hemisphere, or NATO, or dealing with the ASEAN countries, or the Far East, guess what? They look at me and I say, I say, ‘America is back.’ And they look at me, and they say, ‘For how long?’"
Biden delivered the remarks at a crucial time in his presidency when it comes to international politics. The President just returned from a trip to Asia that included meetings with leaders of Japan, South Korea, India, and Australia. A remark during that trip caused tension with China, when Biden said he would take military action to defend Taiwan if China invaded. The White House swiftly walked back the comment.
