Joe Biden wooed many on his tour of Europe. It'll take much more to fix the damage wrought by Trump
CNN
Joe Biden's first overseas trip as US President -- a whistle-stop diplomatic tour of Europe -- achieved its primary goal of signaling to America's closest friends that it was ready once more to lead the Western alliance.
Yet, while European leaders were delighted to see a US President extolling the values of multilateralism and Western stability, it's going to take a lot more than a week-long visit to fully repair the damage done by four years of erratic hostility under Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump. Indeed, for the bulk of Trump's time in the White House, European officials conceded the election of an anti-European in the US was a wake-up call for them after decades of assuming that America would always have their best interests at heart.More Related News
