During the speech, the media writes, the former US president never mentioned the name of President Trump. But he warned of the risks of America's exit from the world arena and praised the steps of his presidency to strengthen NATO.
Biden said that some of the main achievements of his presidency are “changing very quickly” and that European leaders turned to him for advice after he left the White House, the media reports.
During his speech, he admitted that he continues to engage in world politics and regularly communicates with both the leaders of the Democrats and with the leaders of the Republicans, reports the online publication of the Daily Beast.
Biden added: “I remained involved, because I really do not care about what I did. Many things that I worked so stubbornly, which, as I thought, changed the country, change so quickly.”
He stated that during his presidency, NATO was “expanded” and “significantly fortified” and that the Alliance was “in ruins” when he came to the White House, the newspaper writes.
On July 2, in response to Biden’s remarks, the White House criticized the foreign policy of the former president, calling it “weaker than ever before,” writes The Wall Street Journal. At a briefing, the White House spokesman Anna Kelly said: “Absolutely no one turns to Joe Biden for advice, because his catastrophic foreign policy made America weaker than ever before,” she said. “Thanks to President Trump, the NATO allies took over the historical obligation for defense costs in the amount of 5%, Iran’s nuclear potential was destroyed, and the position of our country was destroyed. The world arena is restored. “
