The vice president arrives amid a worsening war and a disagreement over how to exchange fighter jets. It’s her toughest, biggest foreign policy stage yet.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ trip to Poland on Wednesday comes amid tense times in the region and difficult negotiations between Warsaw and Washington.
Administration officials and allies say Harris’ sojourn to Europe is an illustration of President Joe Biden’s trust in her in these moments, even in fields like national security, where she has not been given much of a portfolio during her vice presidency. They noteshe received just a few weeks ago for her appearance at the Munich Security Conference as evidence that she’s more deft in international diplomacy than her critics concede.
The trip marks an elevation for Harris whose main portfolios have been root causes of migration to the U.S. southern border and voting rights. Her opponents have chastised her as being ill-prepared for the world stage, let alone the biggest armed conflict in Europe since World War II. But her defenders say she’s up to the task, noting that her time on the Senate Intelligence Committee came right at the heart of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s increased meddling in U.S. politics.
But Biden had spent decades, by that point, entrenched in foreign policy debates, participating in Codels, and shaping U.S. policy abroad as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
