Joe Biden News

U.S. President Joe Biden approved Ukraine using U.S. weapons to strike targets inside Russia that were attacking the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, after Kyiv sought authorization from Washington in recent weeks, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed on Friday.

Doubts to that effect have popped up throughout the Pax Americana, the long period of US leadership that followed World War II. What most frightened America’s friends abroad, though, was Donald Trump in the White House. His “America First” worldview was a throwback to a much earlier US stance of isolationism and nationalism.
