What is the president s bigpicture goal here, the big headline when it comes to diplomacy? reporter: i think there s an understanding these are priorities. I think these first four trips they are taking, the president and have the president, underscore what matters most right now. From president biden s point of view, he made clear at his speech at the state department on, reestablishing those transatlantic bonds, reestablishing bonds the white house feels were ruptured, to some degree, with the past administration, is critical to what they re trying to do going forward.
