Al Jazeera
The US secretary of state cites ‘hard lessons learned’ from Middle East interventions and says Russia, Iran and North Korea pose ‘serious challenges’.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken outlined the new Biden administration’s strategic vision for the US foreign policy and identified China as the top geopolitical challenge facing the United States. In a wide-ranging speech in Washington, DC on Wednesday, Secretary Blinken framed President Joe Biden’s view of the world as a contest between democracy and authoritarianism and promised the US would “lead with diplomacy” not military intervention. Blinken linked President Biden’s planned repairs of the US economy and democracy at home to the renewal of American influence and power abroad and argued US foreign policy and domestic wellbeing must be linked.More Related News
