Boris Must Not Squander His All-Important Summit With Joe Biden

 The Heritage Foundation; Boris Must Not Squander His All-Important Summit With Joe Biden


"Boris Johnson's U.S. visit this week will be his first transatlantic steps on the world stage since the start of the Covid pandemic. The Prime Minister will address the United Nations General Assembly in New York, meeting with President Biden at the White House and Congressional leaders on Capitol Hill.

"The Biden/Johnson meeting is potentially one of the most important U.S./UK summits of the post-9/11 era. This is a pivotal moment for the world’s most important bilateral partnership, as well as the West’s leadership of the free world.

"Joe Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal has inflicted serious short-term and long-term damage on the Special Relationship and the Nato alliance. His actions have significantly harmed America’s standing across the Atlantic. It will be extremely difficult to rebuild faith and trust in U.S. leadership while Biden remains president.

"This harsh reality will overshadow this week’s talks, and cannot be brushed aside for the sake of diplomatic niceties. While last week’s historic Aukus security pact is a major boost to Anglo-American cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, it will not repair the rift between London and Washington that exists over Afghanistan. Besides, much of the strategic vision and foresight for this deal was in place before Biden became president.". . . 

Formal Complaint Filed against Biden for Refusing to Answer Questions from Reporters | Neon Nettle  ..."In March, Biden's aide blocked reporters from asking him about the "crisis at the border" during a stop at a local hardware store in Washington, D.C.

"In August, Biden said "they" set the rules and determine when and where he’s allowed to take questions from the press and who from.

"Earlier this month, Biden implied his handlers are calling the shots from the shadows after he concluded remarks in honor of labor unions by saying what he was "supposed" to do.

"After finishing prepared comments in the White House, Biden said: "I‘m supposed to stop and walk out of the room.". . .
