Biden's most important message overseas: He's not Trump
ABC News / Disney ^ | June 11, 2021 | ByJordyn Phelps

As President Joe Biden makes his presidential debut on the world stage, meeting with close allies at the G-7 summit Friday, his greatest task is accomplished by the simple fact that he is not Donald Trump.

Following four years of Trump’s "America First" approach to foreign policy that unmoored the United States’ long-held position as the world leader on global initiatives, Biden’s trip, as much as anything else, is about a return to normal.

"At every point along the way, we're going to make it clear that the United States is back," he said Wednesday, in his first remarks after touching down overseas, addressing U.S. troops stationed in England.

Those are reassuring words for members of the G-7, who are set to champion multilateralism in Cornwall on Friday, making a shared commitment to a global vaccination campaign and declare their shared support for a minimum corporate tax rate of 15%.

Gone is the distrust of multilateralism that was a trademark of Trump’s unpredictable policy shifts and personal spats with close allies.

The former president sent shockwaves through the NATO alliance by at times questioning its utility, making threats to other members to increase their contributions, and during his first visit to the NATO headquarters in 2017, showing initial reluctance to explicitly express the U.S. commitment to the alliance’s bedrock Article 5 collective defense treaty.

Biden will represent a return to normal.

“Normal” meaning America will be the world’s bitch again. We will defend the west, pay for everything, take all the blame, and enter into agreements against our interest just do joe kiddiegrabber can be “liked.”

We need Trump back ASAP to stop this “normal” - now and forever.

I can see in the near future that the point is he is not Trump will become less and less important.

These people, the Left, never had, and never will have foresight.

Everyone is happy at G7 because it means Europeans get to do what they want on their agenda. Not on what should be on America’s agenda.

And in a few months Biden will get the Nobel peace prize for not being Trump. The citation will be framed a bit less obviously: for re-integrating the United States into the system of global cooperation.

Finally, something I can agree with SlowJoe on....he’s NOT Trump.
Trump is not a pedophile and loves America, her People and our flag. So, yeah....Joe’s definitely NOT Trump.

He sent shockwaves through the NATO Alliance by telling the truth.

And this “news” article is so biased that it needs to be called an opinion piece.
