President Biden Addresses United Nations General Assembly

President Biden made his debut speech before the United Nations General Assembly in New York this morning. President Biden spoke for 30 minutes and used his time to make an optimistic call for the global community to rally behind building a better future. He touched on the pandemic, climate change, democracy, Afghanistan and human rights.

The speech comes as questions surface regarding the president’s foreign policy decisions, the U.S.’ exit from Afghanistan and a submarine deal that caused tension with France. In June, the president spent his first foreign trip in Europe declaring that ‘America is back’.
