Joe Biden wants to reclaim the US' role as global leader after four years of isolationism | DW News

US President Joe Biden opened the first overseas trip of his term Wednesday, arriving in Britain with a declaration that the "United States is back.''

Biden, keen to repair relations with European allies that were shaken by his predecessor Donald Trump, is beginning his tour in the UK, where he was scheduled to meet Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday.

Most pressing among the challenges facing the US and its allies is the coronavirus pandemic, with Biden promising that the US would also lead on this matter. "We have to end COVID-19 not just at home — which we're doing — but everywhere," Biden said. According to US media reports, the Biden administration is set to buy 500 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for international distribution.

The US is an oligarchy, not a liberal democracy. Economic elites and organized groups representing special interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a greater career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time.

A country can’t abandon its obligations and agreements it signed for four years and then come back and say: forget what we did in the last four years, I am your leader again.
