The key question Joe Biden must answer in his debut UN General Assembly speech
CNN
As President Joe Biden makes his presidential debut at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, the question is not whether America wants to lead the world any longer, but whether it can.
During his inaugural address, Biden promised that "we will not lead merely by the example of our power, but by the power of our example." But eight months on, that shining example is looking a little tarnished -- even as the US remains the indispensable anchor of Western democracy.
Increasing doubts surround Biden's self-described foreign policy expertise and his capacity to both quell America's raging domestic political chaos and to put a superpower's stamp on a world bristling with challenges to US authority.
