President Biden's trip to Peru and Brazil marks a significant moment as he confronts the reality of Donald Trump's return to power, highlighting a shift back to isolationism and an adversarial stance towards global allies.
The summits in Lima and Rio will not serve as the reaffirmation of Biden's foreign policy legacy he hoped for, but rather a recognition of the shifting tides in America’s global role to a past defined by Trump’s presidency.
Richard Haass underscored the gravity of Biden’s situation, noting that foreign leaders would view the president as a 'lame duck,' unable to make lasting commitments beyond his tenure, reflecting a period of uncertainty for U.S. foreign policy.
Ricardo Zuniga emphasized the perception of foreign leaders regarding Biden's effectiveness at the summits, pointing out that they clearly recognize the limitations of a president approaching the end of his term.
