Biden warns in final UNGA address the world is at an 'inflection point'

NEW YORK CITY—President Biden, in his final address to the United Nation's General Assembly, warning that the world is at an “inflection point," and explaining his decision to suspend his re-election campaign.

"Today is the fourth time I’ve had the great honor of speaking to this assembly as President of the United States," Biden said Tuesday morning. "It’ll be my last."  Brooke Singman is a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News Digital, Fox News Channel and FOX Business.

Biden reflected on the global order when he was first elected as a U.S. senator in 1972, saying the world was at "an inflection point" and a "moment of tension and uncertainty." 

"The world was divided by the Cold War; the Middle East was headed toward war; America was at war in Vietnam at that point — the longest war in America’s history," Biden said. "Our country was divided and angry, and there were questions about our staying power and our future. But even then, I entered public life not out of despair, but out of optimism."
