Biden highlights foreign policy achievements while addressing global conflicts

Outgoing President Joe Biden defended his foreign policy record, stating that U.S. adversaries are weaker than when he took office. He highlighted support for Ukraine against Russia and for Israel amid ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Biden mentioned efforts to negotiate a deal between Israel and Hamas to free hostages and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. He acknowledged the ongoing violence but emphasized the need for peace for both Palestinians and Israelis. Despite criticism over U.S. support for Israel, Biden claimed that authoritarian states like Iran and Russia are more aligned out of weakness. He asserted that the U.S. economy remains strong and will not be surpassed by China.
