Problem is that Biden was trying to put to gather a coalition to deal with attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea area and Suez Canal. . England, France, Spain etc refused. I wonder if abandoning them in Iraq was the cause? Funny it doesn’t get much press.
Dealing with the U.S. is fraught with complications in a matter like this. For one thing, the U.S. has no legal or diplomatic justification to protect foreign commercial shipping on the open seas. These countries probably suspected that they were bent enlisted just to do the dirty work the U.S. would not do.
