NEW YORK, Sept 21 — President Joe Biden plans to defend his hasty troop withdrawal from Afghanistan today in a speech to the United Nations, arguing it was needed to pivot US policy to focus on a global challenge from China and climate change.
In his speech to the UN General Assembly, Biden will “lay out the case for why the next decade will determine our future, not just for the United States but for the global community, and he will talk...about the importance of re-establishing our alliances after the last several years,” White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters.
France was outraged because Biden, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a plan last week for Australia to get nuclear-powered submarines using US technology. US officials said nuclear propulsion would allow the Australian navy to operate more quietly, for longer periods, and provide deterrence across the Indo-Pacific.
