‘America’s Back’ at the Table: Cataloguing the Biden Administration’s First Security Council Presidency The Security Council Chamber from the vantage point of the council's president.

He has vowed that America will repair its alliances, renew its leadership in international institutions, and restore its partnerships—all with the intention of unraveling the Trump-era foreign policy doctrine of “America First” and replacing it with a new mantra: “America’s back.” The slogan has made its rounds in the State Department and has served as the foundation for many statements made by Biden’s most senior foreign policy officials, not to mention the president himself.
