President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are expected to address foreign policy issues at the upcoming debate in Atlanta. While the Biden campaign aims to focus on domestic issues like the economy and reproductive rights, foreign policy has been a significant part of Biden's first term. Biden's advisers have acknowledged that events abroad have sometimes diverted the president's attention from domestic matters.
Unlike previous election cycles, there is no dedicated foreign policy debate scheduled. Instead, foreign policy is expected to be part of the broader discussion at the upcoming debate. Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, has been leading discussions on foreign policy preparations with the president and other top advisers at Camp David.
