Washington Post columnist blasts Biden for omitted foreign policy threats in State of the Union
Fox News
Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin noted several foreign policy items President Biden did not address in his first State of the Union Tuesday night
While Ukraine was the most pressing international issue, Rogin noted that several other foreign policy concerns from the past year went unaddressed in the president's remarks.
Biden did not mention Iran, despite his reported intentions to bring the regime back into compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal. The White House waived sanctions on Iranian civilian nuclear activities, which a senior State Department official told Fox News Digital was due to growing non-proliferation concerns related to increasing stockpiles of enriched uranium by Tehran. The Trump administration pulled the U.S. out of the nuclear deal in 2018, and reimposed several pre-deal sanctions on Iran.
