“Whenever possible, in partnership with our allies, U.S. military power must be our tool of last resort, not our first,” President Joe Biden said.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday promised the United Nations that the U.S. will address the world’s problems but will not engage in unilateral action, as he aimed to use his first speech to the U.N. General Assembly to reassure allies even as he draws flak for his administration’s recent handling of issues affecting Afghanistan, France and Haiti.
“We will lead, together with our allies and partners, and in cooperation with all those who believe, as we do, that this is within our power to meet these challenges — to build a future, to lift all of our people and preserve this planet.” “Whenever possible, in partnership with our allies, U.S. military power must be our tool of last resort, not our first,” Biden said.
But he has faced criticism following a chaotic American withdrawal from Afghanistan, a new defense pact with Australia and the U.K. that has angered France, and the U.S. government’s approach to thousands of Haitian refugees who set up camp at a Texas border town.
