Biden Delivers Farewell Speech at UN

In his final address to the United Nations General Assembly, President Joe Biden reflected on his long career in public service while emphasizing the importance of hope amid global crises in Ukraine and the Middle East. He called for continued U.S. leadership and support for international alliances, asserting that 'things can get better' despite current challenges. Biden's remarks were noted for their emotional weight, as he emphasized service to the people over political power, but were met with skepticism regarding their sincerity and the effectiveness of his presidency. His speech also served as a platform to bolster his legacy against the backdrop of Donald Trump's potential return to power, as he highlighted his administration’s foreign policy achievements. As tensions rise globally, Biden expressed concerns for both Israeli and Palestinian lives, urging for a ceasefire while navigating a complex geopolitical landscape. Critics pointed out a lack of clarity in his foreign policy approach, raising questions about the effectiveness of his leadership during his term.
