According to US President Joe Biden, the current period is a turning point in history.
The White House commented on current world events
White House National Security Council Coordinator, John Kirby, answered the question of how the Biden administration sees its foreign policy in light of the events in Ukraine and Gaza. Kirby clarified that threats to democracy have different characteristics.
The president describes the current time we are living in as a turning point, and he is right. After all, if you look around the world, one of the things that unites is the threat to democracy," said John Kirby, coordinator of the White House National Security Council.
Biden believes that the US should base its foreign policy on cooperation with allies and partners. He acknowledges that the US cannot solve all problems on its own, but its leadership is vital to success.
The President believes in a foreign policy that strengthens our allies and partners, that is built on alliances and partnerships, that recognises that the United States cannot do it all. However, our leadership is vital to addressing some of these challenges," Kirby said.
Biden expressed confidence that the US will continue to play an active role in the world, as it has in the past three years.
What is known about problems with US aid to Ukraine
In October 2023, US President Joe Biden asked Congress to allocate more than $100 billion for national security needs. Of this amount, more than $60 billion was to be used to help Ukraine resist the Russian invasion.
Congressional Republicans did not support Biden's proposal to allocate funds to help Ukraine, as they believe that the package should include measures to strengthen border security with Mexico. As a result, negotiations on the aid package have been dragging on for over a month.
It has been reported that the US has suspended aid to Ukraine until Congress approves new funding.
