Is Biden normalizing Trump's foreign policy? (none / 0)

Global Opinions: Is Biden normalizing Trump's foreign policy? [_link]
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) September 17, 2021

In his first speech as Secretary of State in March, Anthony Blinken also addressed this topic: "... Our trade policies will need to answer very clearly how they will grow the American middle class..."

That fits very well to dupe one of the great NATO allies: France. Already the NATO countries are bound to buy armaments and high technology from the great leader in the US. Must double their effort in order to confront that regional power Russia ... the empire of evil. Buy influence, buy American goods. Europe needs to wise up and stop this sh*t ... focus should be to Save the Planet ... not joyriding in space wtf.

Biden is keeping Trump's America First policies alive

Biden Rhetoric As US Foreign Policy Is Normalized (none / 0)

Biden abides by expectations of US Congress as the former President set out a maverick foreign policy based on AmericaFirst! now normalized.

If Joe Biden continues his current course, historians might one day look back on him as the president who normalized Donald Trump's foreign policy.

Fareed is a broken clock, once in a 12 hour period he's correct.

US Foreign Policy Is Normalized (4.00 / 2)

It was clear even before Biden's election that the US foreign policy vis à vis Europe would remain essentially the same. Minus the insults (and Twitter).

Many fools in Europe thought that Biden's administration would mean that everything will be returning to "normal", but the new normal is "America First" and "pivot to Asia".
