Newly elected US President Donald Trump criticized outgoing President Joe Biden’s foreign policy results, calling them a new low in US history.
“When you look at what happened over this last four-year period, I think it was the lowest point in the history of our country. It was so bad,” Trump told the right-wing channel Newsmax last night.
Shortly before that, Biden had boasted about the achievements of his foreign policy team, claiming that they were the best in the history of the White House.
Trump has a diametrically opposite view of the results of Biden’s diplomacy, Anadolia writes.
“I don’t want to insult people when they’re on their way out,” Trump said before calling Biden’s foreign policy terrible.
During his 2017-2021 first term, Trump was known for strained relations with traditional US allies such as Germany and other NATO members, leading to fears that the US could abandon the long-standing military alliance. He also sought stronger ties with traditional US rivals such as Russia and North Korea.
Since winning the November election, Trump has managed to raise tensions with Canada, a NATO member, even before coming to the White House, calling it a US state, and has also refused to rule out the use of military action to take over Greenland, a territory of Denmark, another ally. in NATO.
Trump also claimed that the Russia-Ukraine war should not have happened, as well as the Israel-Iran conflict.
He added that the handling of the Biden administration in global affairs has been disastrous, citing as an example the incompetence of the American withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.
“And you know what he did with the insanity, and 13 dead soldiers, and leaving billions and billions of dollars worth of equipment in the hands of the Taliban. It’s just, you know, it just couldn’t get any worse than that. Withdrawal has led to more global crises,” Trump said.
The Biden administration, on the other hand, accuses Trump of actually setting the date for the withdrawal from Afghanistan and reducing the time for preparations. They also dispute Trump’s claims about the value of abandoned military equipment in Afghanistan.
Newly elected American President Trump, who will take office on January 20, said that he is convinced that Russian President Vladimir Putin was encouraged by the bad American withdrawal from Afghanistan and that is why he launched an attack on Ukraine.
