Will Biden’s Foreign Policy Messes Dominate Debate?
President Biden and former President Trump are set for their first 2024 presidential debate this Thursday. While Bidenomics is always on our minds, some say that foreign policy is sure to be a key topic as global conflicts stack up.
Just the News reported Trump aims to highlight his peacemaker image against Biden’s interventionist stance. He plans to criticize Biden for rising global tensions, citing his own administration’s diplomacy with North Korea, the Abraham Accords, and the 2020 Afghan withdrawal agreement. Trump’s camp argues Biden's actions have led to conflict, including the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle and strained U.S.-Israel relations.
