Biden's Foreign Policy Legacy Under Scrutiny

As President Joe Biden approaches the end of his term, he faces mixed reviews regarding his foreign policy legacy. His administration's recent diplomatic efforts, particularly a ceasefire with Hamas, are seen as a win amid ongoing regional instability and criticism over his unwavering support for Israel, which has strained U.S. relations internationally. Biden is also implementing measures aimed at countering China and restricting Russian oil shortly before handing over power to Donald Trump, which some analysts believe may strategically benefit the incoming administration. In his final addresses, Biden emphasized a narrative of stronger alliances and a more stable global position for the U.S., despite conflicting public perceptions of his tenure. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan echoed this sentiment, highlighting the administration's focus on achieving a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, even as challenges remain. The mixed responses highlight the complexities of Biden's foreign policy achievements as he seeks to define his legacy in these final days in office.
