"I will rejoin the Paris climate agreement on day one of a Biden administration & then convene a summit of the world’s major carbon emitters, rallying nations to raise their ambitions and push progress further and faster." @JoeBiden on his global agenda
The next president will have to salvage our reputation, rebuild confidence in our leadership, and mobilize our country and our allies to rapidly meet new challenges — like future pandemics.
We need a leader who will be ready on day one.
Biden lays out his foreign policy agenda in new @ForeignAffairs piece. Among tangible policy proposals: put refugee admissions cap at 125k, ending US support for Saudi campaign in Yemen, rejoin Iran deal if Iran comes back into compliance, extend New START
“As a nation, we have to prove to the world that the United States is prepared to lead again—not just with the example of our power but also with the power of our example.” @JoeBiden outlines his foreign policy vision

for years people like @OliverBullough@b_judah@edwardlucas@Ava_L_ and courageous anti-corruption activists have insisted that kleptocracy is a danger to security and a decent world. Finally (finally!) it's top US foreign policy billing...well done.
"I will also take steps to tackle the self-dealing, conflicts of interest, dark money, and rank corruption that are serving narrow, private, or foreign agendas and undermining our democracy" - this is where the change has to begin foreignaffairs.com/articles/unite… via @ForeignAffairs
“Democracy is not just the foundation of American society,” @JoeBiden writes. “It is also the wellspring of our power ... It is the heart of who we are and how we see the world—and how the world sees us.”
The next president will face the enormous task of picking up the pieces left by President Trump. They will have to salvage our reputation, rebuild confidence in our leadership, and mobilize the world to meet new challenges. There will be no time to lose.
Usually when major candidates write about FP, in major journals, they are not scrutinised, because the main points are targetted towards mass consumption, but even by that standard...this is just a dump of contradictions.
