Before Redefining the U.S. Role in the World, Biden May Have to Juggle More Immediate Problems Hampton Stephens, founder and publisher of World Politics Review, examines the most pressing foreign policy challenges the incoming president will face.
January 21, 2021
In my last post for this blog, in November, I looked at World Politics Review’s big-picture coverage of the future of U.S. foreign policy, examining the ways in which the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden would change the United States’ posture toward the rest of the world.
I wrote then that “Biden is likely to completely reverse course on a number of Trump administration decisions pertaining to global cooperation and adopt a much more ‘multilateralist’ foreign policy.”
