President Biden To Deliver Capstone Address On Foreign Policy

President Joe Biden listens during a briefing regarding the federal response to the spread of wildfires in the Los Angeles area, in the Roosevelt Room at the White House in Washington, Thursday, Jan.

President Joe Biden is set to deliver a significant address on his foreign policy legacy at the State Department on Monday, as confirmed by the White House. The outgoing president is expected to use this platform to showcase his administration's achievements in various areas of international relations.

One of the key highlights of Biden's address is anticipated to be the efforts made by his administration to expand NATO and garner support from numerous allies to provide military aid to Ukraine in its conflict against Russia. Additionally, Biden is expected to discuss a groundbreaking agreement between Japan and South Korea aimed at enhancing security and economic cooperation.

This address at the State Department holds particular significance as it marks a full circle for Biden, who also chose this venue for his first major foreign policy speech at the beginning of his presidency almost four years ago. During that initial address, Biden emphasized the United States' commitment to reclaiming its role as a global leader after the previous administration's 'America First' approach.

As Biden prepares to bid farewell to U.S. diplomats, he will articulate his vision for international relations, especially in light of the impending return of former President Donald Trump to the White House. Trump has signaled plans for significant changes in American foreign policy, including questioning the cost of supporting Ukraine, urging NATO members to boost defense spending, and expressing intentions to potentially use military force to secure control over the Panama Canal and Greenland, citing national security imperatives.

The contrast between Biden's approach and the potential future policies under Trump underscores the ongoing debate and shifts in U.S. foreign relations. Biden's address is expected to provide insight into his administration's achievements and priorities, setting the stage for continued discussions on the direction of American foreign policy.
