Denouncing President Donald Trump as an affront to American values, Democratic candidate Joe Biden vowed Thursday that if elected he would hold a summit aimed at halting a backslide in global democracy.
The former vice president, who leads early polls for the Democratic nomination to challenge Trump in next year's election, said his foreign policy would be "based on clear goals driven by sound strategies, not by Twitter tantrums."
"The world sees Trump for what he is: insincere, ill-informed and impulsive -- and sometimes corrupt, dangerously incompetent and incapable, in my view, of world leadership and leadership at home," Biden said in a speech on foreign policy in New York.
Biden chastised Trump for downplaying human rights and voiced alarm at the "rapid advance of authoritarianism, nationalism and illiberal tendencies around the world" even among US allies, naming Hungary, the Philippines and Turkey.
He said he would hold a summit in the United States within one year of taking office that would recommit to democratic values and involve civil society.
"Leaders who attend must come prepared to cooperate and make concrete commitments to take on corruption and advance human rights in their own nations," he said.
"We have to be honest about our friends that are falling short and forge a common agenda to address the greatest threats to our shared values," he said.
Biden said he would also convene a separate summit on climate change within 100 days of taking office where the United States would press other major carbon emitters to join it in making "more ambitious national pledges."

Is he referring to original American values or contemporary American values? Or is he just mouthing stuff he doesn't even understand?
Isnt that what the United Nations is supposed to be about? Joes mental clutch is slipping.
The lynch pin that the rats cant seem to pull is the second amendment, when the citizenry is disarmed the road to globalism takes a fast track
“He said he would hold a summit in the United States within one year of taking office that would recommit to democratic values and involve civil society.”
All better./s
“Biden said he would also convene a separate summit on climate change within 100 days of taking office where the United States would press other major carbon emitters to join it in making “more ambitious national pledges.””
We’re saved! YAAAAY!
Quick! A summit on curing Alzheimer’s!
Biden’s democracy = making sure the approved candidates get elected
global summit on democracy = circle jerk.

“We have to be honest about our friends that are falling short and forge a common agenda to address the greatest threats to our shared values,” he said.
One world! One voice! One government!
Not a threat?
Sounds suspiciously like a United Nations meeting.
Simple:
Read, in proper order, the Federalist papers and the response articles, the anti-federalist papers. They go back and forth in the public debate on this and many other specifics that ended up forming the US government.
LOL... THIS GUY AND HIS BOSS LITERALLY HAD A HAND IN ILLEGALLY AND FRAUDULENTLY TRYING TO PREVENT THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FROM BEING ELECTED PRESIDENT......
We are a constitutional republic.

Be sure to invite the Chinese, Joe.
Yep - he might as well get some paisley shirts, checked bell-bottoms and side-zipper dress boots to accessorize his strategy...
I can’t wait to see slo joe call out China, the Saudis, and most recently, Great Britain (Tommy Robinson persecution and ongoing war against Britain’s subjects).
