Our story today begins with President Joe Biden’s remarks at the 2021 Virtual Munich Security Conference. Here is where President Biden laid out the security issues and concerns of the United States and the world. On February 19th, after the G7 meeting, President Joe Biden was the first to speak at this meeting and he spoke much on the future of the United States. He talked about how “America is back.” This is his distinct policy of international relations, very different from his predecessor President Donald Trump. So what does “America is back mean”? Well, it is the reverse of policies from the previous Trump administration, meaning that the United States will reclaim its leadership role in world affairs, shaping its once universally recognized leadership.

What does this mean for the United States' future foreign policies? How does the United States, under Joe Biden, see the state of the world and our allies?
