Joe Biden Says World Leaders Are Asking Him for Advice in New Trump Era

The differing narratives of Biden and Trump underscore the split in how each leader frames America’s role in the world. For Biden, the emphasis lies on coalition-building and collective security, with NATO seen as an anchor of stability. For Trump, the focus is on burden-sharing and ensuring allies contribute more financially to defense.

Following Biden’s speech, the White House released a statement through spokesperson Anna Kelly dismissing the idea that foreign leaders were calling Biden for advice. “Absolutely no one is calling Joe Biden for advice because his foreign policy left America weaker than ever before. Thanks to President Trump, NATO allies have made a historic five percent defense spending pledge, Iran’s nuclear capabilities are addressed, and our country’s standing on the world stage is restored.”

The sharp statement reflects the political tensions of the moment: a former president who still claims influence, and a sitting president eager to define the new era on his own terms.
