The Democratic presidential nominee's speech was dominated by America's many domestic issues, but he did touch on the biggest foreign policy challenges he might face come January.
The president has consistently dismissed Russian meddling in the 2016 election as"fake news" and a"witch hunt," despite the conclusions of U.S. intelligence officials and Congress that Moscow did indeed seek to swing the election in Trump's favor. Intelligence agencies have warned that Russia is still trying to meddle in U.S. elections.Trump has regularly boasted about his relationship with autocrats and populist strongman leaders around the world.
"I take very personally and the profound responsibility of serving as commander in chief," Biden said."I'll be a president who will stand with our allies and friends and make it clear to our adversaries the days of cozying up to dictators is over.", whom Trump has made a habit of maligning in public. The president has largely eschewed multilateralism in favor of his"America first" approach, something Biden has promised to reverse.
"Under President Biden, America will not turn a blind eye to Russian bounties on the heads of American soldiers," the former vice president said."Nor will I put up with foreign interference in our most sacred democratic exercise: voting." Trump has sought to make China central to the election, trying to blame Beijing entirely for the COVID-19 pandemic and claiming that a Biden White House would effectively sell the U.S. out to China. Biden has been trying to fortify his message on China, and on Thursday suggested he would pursue the kind of"decoupling" being pushed by leading Republicans.
