Biden And Trump Clash On America's Global Role

Final 2020 U.S. presidential campaign debate in Nashville

President Joe Biden and Donald Trump have expressed contrasting viewpoints on America's global role, particularly concerning alliances and policies towards Ukraine.

Biden aims to strengthen relationships with European allies and uphold commitments to NATO and Ukraine, seeking to repair damage done during Trump's presidency.

In contrast, Trump advocated for a more isolationist approach, suggesting that Russia should have free rein over NATO-member countries that fail to meet funding obligations.

Upon taking office, Biden swiftly moved to restore America's standing on the world stage, reversing Trump's decisions to withdraw from international agreements like the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris climate accords.

Trump, on the other hand, had pledged to end the conflict in Ukraine without providing a clear strategy for doing so, claiming he could resolve the issue within a day of being elected.

Furthermore, Trump promised to reinstate his travel ban on individuals from certain majority-Muslim countries to prevent the entry of 'radical Islamic terrorists,' a policy that Biden had overturned in 2021.
