President Biden Is Respected Around the World: Boosting Biden Day 117 [1]

I was listening to a great interview with Joe Biden on Smartless and he talked about how everywhere he goes, when world leaders from other democracies get him alone, they talk about the urgency of him beating Trump once again. As reported in print:

Whether it’s the G20 meeting in India or whatever the meeting where there are other heads of state . . . almost every one of the world leaders finds an excuse to get me alone for a moment, put their hand on my arm, and say, “You can’t let him win. My” — meaning his country or her country — “my democracy is at stake. My democracy is at stake.”

World leaders’ support for Biden is not only because Trump is a danger to worldwide democracy, but also because they respect Biden. For example, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently expressed strong confidence in Biden’s abilities and achievements:

I think that Joe Biden is someone who is very clear, who knows exactly what he is doing and who is one of the most experienced politicians in the world, especially when it comes to international politics . . . . In a difficult situation like this, where a war is taking place right here in Europe, after Russia invaded Ukraine, where many, many other conflicts are raging around the world, this is an asset, a good thing.

Scholz added that Biden’s successes in US domestic policy are part of the equation:

He has pursued a policy that has led to proper economic development in the country, that has helped to ensure that peace and security are in good hands and that the U.S. is actually playing its role in the world. And, of course, he is committed to togetherness and cohesion in his country.

Biden has long foreign policy chops
