French Diplomat Criticizes Biden for China Focus

September 21, 2021 · 3:00 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Former French ambassador Gerard Araud to the New Republic: “Obama didn’t care about Europe. Trump was hostile to Europe. And here you have Biden. And Biden, to be frank so far, is a big disappointment all over Europe.”

He continued: “The administration has no European policy… When Biden went to Europe, he was patting the shoulders of everybody and the back of everybody, the way he’s very good at doing it. But there was no outcome… The Americans are shifting to China. So they have a foreign policy: China, China, China.”
