(11 Jul 2019) Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden promised to end "forever wars" and reassert American leadership in combating the authoritarianism and global instability he says are proliferating under President Donald Trump.
Biden outlined his foreign policy vision on Thursday at the City University of New York Graduate Center.
Biden promised to "end the forever wars in Afghanistan and the Middle East" and end U.S. involvement in the Yemen civil war — nods to calls from the progressive international affairs community that has criticized the former vice president as a willing cog in the more hawkish, bipartisan establishment that has directed U.S. foreign policy for decades.
Biden also plans a defense of international trade, an emphasis on diplomacy and a promise for aggressive action to combat the climate crisis, with an explanation that all of those efforts can help curtail the worldwide flow of migrants highlighted by the current humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border .
Biden also said he wants to re-engage with Iran, but that it must start with Tehran coming back into compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal.
