President Biden strode into office promising to restore competency and credibility to U.S. foreign policy after four years of President Trump’s shoot-from-the-hip diplomacy, but several international missteps and crises abroad have undermined his claim.
Since taking office, Mr. Biden has often reacted slowly to crises and offered an ever-shifting, if not contradictory, foreign policy. From the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal to the $6 billion hostage deal with Iran that preceded a horrific Hamas terror attack on Israel, questions are piling up about Mr. Biden’s handling of world affairs.
On Ukraine, he said Russia alone bears responsibility for the war, and he urged allies to keep providing aid to Kyiv.
The president at times even misstated U.S. foreign policy, forcing his aides to walk back his remarks, suggesting that his expertise wasn’t as advertised.
