Democratic U.S. presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden holds his protective face mask as he speaks about the Trump administration's handling of the coronavirus pandemic during a campaign event in Wilmington, Delaware, U.S., June 30, 2020.European diplomats and foreign policy experts say that a Joe Biden presidency would restore the United States' strained alliances with Europe.
The transatlantic alliance between the US and its European allies has been under growing strain since Trump's election in 2016. The diplomat's comments echo those made by Biden's foreign policy adviser Antony Blinken, who signaled earlier this year that the US under Biden would rebuild the US's links with multilateral institutions.
That is not to say Biden would adopt a conciliatory approach towards China. In fact, he has signalled that he will take a similarly tough line on China to Trump, and has"Democrats are as stern on this issue as Republicans," said Heather Conley, senior vice president for Europe, Eurasia and the Arctic at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
One UK diplomat told Business Insider: "[Issues] like taking a firm line with China, like Iran — those things will remain bones of contention. These [Biden and his allies] are people who believe in alliances, in the difference between right and wrong, and in the moral standing of the United States as the leader of the free world. But they accept it has to be earned."
Those concerns have only grown due to the coronavirus pandemic, which highlighted the UK's dependence on China.Getty While the impact of such a trade deal would be economically negligible — boosting the economy by only 0.16% over 15 years — Downing Street believes it would represent a significant political win and mark a new era of post-Brexit global trade.
"The Biden insistence on [food safety standards] would be not nearly so insistent as with the Trump administration. So that would make things easier in a deal with the UK," he said.
He can’t even complete a sentence!! Lol
AlaskanNovelist I believe this as well.
M1959Grace Oh give it a rest What a liar you are First off it’s none of your business it’s America’s and 2 Nd We know atrump doesn’t lie Is the best Pres ever and all of Europe was headed for globalism and Hitler era stuff again! Wake up and find the TRUTH Do not listen to the propaganda
dfsparks Amen
Ami Go Home.
smoffymoth He’s a very skillful negotiator. Couldn’t have a better pick. A man for this time and a wonderful lady VP👌
They're overly optimistic. I'm not even sure we'll have a peaceful transition of power. Trump killed the American experiment while Republicans stood by and did nothing.
Joe doesn't even know where Europe is
JacekJasinski I do, too.
KimKimbowman trump leaving office will be a great start. I really don't believe our allies blame us for dick head (other than that he was installed of course.)
The sane American people think the same thing. This election is the most important election I've lived through.
teeple_jerry Problem is it's going to take years
BEVHOWARD40 He will.
Thank God they will wait for this idiot to get out of the WH
The whole world believes that, we need their help to keep Russia and China out of the equation!
NO SHIT. Joe Biden is part of the globalist political elite. Joe Biden is part of the career politicians that have put America last for the past 40 years, of course they want him.
debsomewhere Of course he will! By appointing a highly qualified Secretary of State who already has the confidence of many international leaders. Who will it be?
Picture European/Chinese/Iranian, etc., 'Diplomats' walking around a weak Biden, so understand why they don't enjoy current strong America-first leadership.
Cmon man he’s not able to lay out one complex thought into words. He will do this he will do that. Thinking of him as a president you need to ask yourself who will run the country for him from behind the curtains. Can’t wait for the debates tho.
ohohyeah He will!
the majority of US feel like we’re being held hostage by the 45* regime. we vote 🗳 we march 🗣👣 we push back against their gross fascism 🖕🏾🆘🤬 and still it gets worse NOV is coming 🙏🏽
kingfish7418 They would be right.
Of course he will!
elebenty Yup!
daretothink53 Thank God they still have hope...please don't give up on us
logisticsxpert Kinda’ hard to do from Memory Care, but I digress. EU diplomats are idiots anyway. 😂
ohohyeah Biden2020
AmBeautifulShow Rightly so!
He has dimentia he’ll do nothin
Hope
People will do and say anything to get this pushover elected smfh👎
👉 ‘One senior UK diplomat…told Business Insider that a Biden presidency would bring a welcome end to the 'venal corruption' of the Trump era.’
This is fake news joe biden wouldn't do crap and he would destroy what alliance we have now and hell he had frickin 8 years with obummer and didn't do crap
If Biden can’t win this election after the way Trump has handled Covid-that would be seriously embarrassing.
Hahahahaha
I live in France. Can confirm this is the feeling on the ground
Well of course, they can again ignore their financial commitments and can continue to enforce tariffs on US goods without consequence. You needed to expend time on this article.
formerrepublic7 I’ve talked to friends in Europe who believe we will right the ship with JoeBiden. If anyone can repair the damage, he can.
NOTEXONERATED45 He has to win first. Pay attention to the missing votes. Exit poll numbers are not aligned with the election results.
SpiroAgnewGhost They should do whatever they can to help. If there is intel into illegal activities by anyone in this administration, get it out now.
solusnan1 Anything would be an improvement
SpiroAgnewGhost It can be repaired pretty quickly. Europe is desperate for normalization, as are we.
I do too and unlike European diplomats I get to vote for Joe Biden!
NO...He will do alliance with china. Soon china supersede USA economy & replace yuan for dollar.
Fish in a barrel. Can’t blame ‘em.
I'm no diplomat, but I agree.
Hey , spotted a typo, fixed for you. No need to thank.
It's not going to be easy for anybody to repair the damage as some of the things Trump has done will affect us for a very long time.
FAKE NEWS
SpiroAgnewGhost realDonaldTrump
UK_Jillian Yes!
😂😂😂
thespybrief
Biden will be destroyed.
I highly doubt it since JoeBiden has promised 'No fundamental change'.
Omg I hope so. I hope they will trust us again!
He will.
Yes, Joe will have a lot to repair after Trump is gone, but he can handle it! It’s nice to hear that Europium diplomats know this too BidenDayJuly4 Biden Biden2020Landslide
SpiroAgnewGhost They're right. Trump only looks after Russias interests and everyone who supports him is guilty of treason.
And they are right
Trump 2020
Yes he can and he will.
Politicsinsider And that is the F fact
European diplomats know Joe Biden is a spineless pushover.
Of course it will. Right now Europe looks at America as a failure under Trump.
That does not sound good to me.
Omg the other countries are co-signing against Donald 😂
The word you are looking for is 'Globalists'.
November feels like a lifetime away. God please keep Biden strong and healthy!
European leaders are wrong.
Lol what a joke Biden is
Translation: they think Joe will return to the days when Europe walks all over us, and they love that idea.
What will he do to lift up the people of the US? *fukin crickets*
Joe will first have to repair the brokenness in his brain.
With Europe and also with China.
You mean European Globalists want Joe Biden because he is also a fellow Globalist. How long will it take War Hawk Biden to start a new war?
Propaganda
European diplomats just want someone else to pay for the things they're responsible for
