Biden to emphasize NATO and other foreign partnerships in final foreign policy speech

With a world at war in Ukraine, the Middle East and Sudan, President Biden is set to talk about his foreign policy legacy on Monday at the State Department in a speech expected to focus on his administration's investment in strong global alliances and his attempt to reclaim America's leadership role in the world.

When Mr. Biden took office four years ago, he sought to reassure global allies and reestablish foreign treaties from which the Trump administration had withdrawn. The president reestablished strong relationships with leaders of NATO countries in the face of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and reentered the Paris climate agreement. But world leaders have been preparing for a change with President-elect Donald Trump's impending inauguration.  

Mr. Biden is expected to argue U.S. outreach to the world is what will safeguard American interests — not isolationism.
