Former President Joe Biden on Wednesday has given his first interview on Wednesday after leaving the Oval Office, more than four months ago. In his reappearance, before the cameras of the British BBC chain, he has been critical of the decisions of the Donald Trump cabinet. Biden has described as “modern appeased” the strategy of pressing Ukraine to give territory to Russia, referring to the United Kingdom’s policy in the period prior to world war II, when he tried to avoid the war conflict by appealing the demands of Germany.
The Democrat has declared that the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, whom he has described as “thug” and “dictator”, will not stop without the complete annexation of Ukraine, so it is “nonsense” to think that Kremlin can stop by giving a part of the Ukrainian territory.
New International Order
“The disappearance of NATO would change the modern history of the world”
Biden has shown its concern about the weakening of relations with Europe during Trump’s mandate, and has assured that NATO’s disappearance “would change the modern history of the world.” According to the former president, the United States is “the only nation capable of leading the world” and preventing China or Russia from taking a step forward.
The Democrat has been especially critical of Trump’s negotiating position, whom he has accused of mistreating his allies after the threats of recovering the Panama Canal, acquiring Greenland or making Canada the 51st state: “What president speaks like this?” He has declared, claiming that the country should “move through freedom and democracy” and not for confiscation.
Resignation of the presidential candidacy
“It was the right decision, but it was a difficult decision”
In the interview, Biden has also spoken over his late resignation in the electoral campaign, only four months before the November presidential elections. The former candidate has declared that having left more time to choose a substitute would not have imported. Biden has expressed that everything was very fast and that it was difficult to make the decision, but that I made the right decision at a time when the party had “a good candidate.”
