President Joe Biden has finished his first year in office with a number of foreign policy tests he has had to confront. The Afghanistan pullout, the situation in Ukraine, and our growing rivalry with China all represent tests the president has had to face. They are tests that Vandenberg Coalition Executive Director Carrie Filipetti and Senior Policy Director Amanda Rothschild say he’s failed.
“You just go around the world in every region: We’re worse off today than we were a year ago,” says Rothschild. “Whether it’s North Korea, Afghanistan, China, Ukraine, it’s worse than we were a year ago, and that’s a result of his policies.”
Filipetti adds, “Our word mattered in the past because it was backed by our power, and we no longer have the power backing our word.”
Filipetti and Rothschild, both of whom served in the Trump administration, join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss a year of foreign policy events, and how the president has failed America on the world stage.
