Description
President Joe Biden vowed to undo the Trump-era “withdrawal doctrine” which saw the United States pull out of the Paris Agreement on climate change, the Iran nuclear agreement, the World Health Organization and other other treatise and institutions.
On his first day in office, Biden re-joined the Paris Agreement, the most significant global climate pact to date. Biden also rejoined the World Health Organization Trump had withdrawn the US from in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Biden, who has repeatedly emphasized the critical importance of working with allies to tackle major global challenges, also promised to rebuild the damaged relationships with traditional US allies and restore American diplomacy and international leadership.
But what will it take to rebuild the broken trust in US foreign policy?
