\nVice President Biden<\/p>\n
As a candidate, Joe Biden said he would reverse many of the foreign-policy initiatives of the Trump administration, such as withdrawing the United States from international agreements, and work to repair the transatlantic relationship that he contends has been the key to stability in Europe over the past 75 years.<\/p>\n
He has said he would take a tougher stand on Russia, expressed strong support for Ukraine, and would rejoin the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, if Tehran holds up its end of the deal.<\/p>\n
In other words, welcome to Obama 2.0.<\/p>\n
By SIMON KENT<\/strong><\/p>\n Joe Biden, presumed victor of the 2020 presidential election as accorded by mainstream media outlets, has been cheered on by the European Union (E.U.) which believes he will be diplomatic putty compared to a combative Donald Trump.<\/p>\n Jean-Claude Juncker, former European Commission president, conceded Sunday that while nothing will change immediately if Biden does indeed make it to the White House, in the longer term diplomatic life will get easier.<\/p>\n \u201cThings are going to get a lot easier, because Joe Biden understands Europe better than Donald Trump,\u201d Juncker declared.<\/p>\n \u201cWith Biden as president, the E.U. could expect and welcome a much more predictable and constructive U.S.-E.U. relationship on trade, NATO, Iran, the Middle East and above all on climate change, if the U.S. re-enters the Paris climate agreement,\u201d agreed Mujtaba Rahman, director of the Europe office of the Eurasia Group risk analysis firm.<\/p>\n Under Trump, Washington happily flexed trade muscles by slapping higher tariffs on steel and aluminium to protect American producers. A truce was reached on the promise of a mini trade deal, but that has still to be realised.<\/p>\n On NATO, Trump made no secret of the fact the organization was not pulling its weight financially and left the U.S. to \u201cpay and bleed\u201d for Europe\u2019s defense, as Breitbart News reported.<\/p>\n Biden is likely to back off straight away and let Europe and Canada resume their less-than-stellar funding efforts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Like the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come, this is what might be. Another reason, if one was needed, why it is imperative Republicans maintain a majority in the Senate. Read the entire article here: Breitbart<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
