Joe Biden

WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday (Jul 1) responded to criticism of President Joe Biden's performance in last week's debate, saying his policies over the past 3-1/2 years have boosted confidence in American leadership in the world.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivers remarks during the release of the 2024 Trafficking in Persons Report at the State Department in Washington, US, Jun 24, 2024. in last week's debate, saying his policies over the past 3-1/2 years have boosted confidence in American leadership in the world.

Blinken said people around the world were looking at what Biden has done since coming into office, not just one night, and that they appreciate his policies. It was the first time since Thursday that Blinken, top US diplomat and a long-serving aide to Biden, was asked about the debate. He stressed Biden's performance in office.

"That doesn't just happen. ... It's the product of policies that we pursue, it's the product of our engagement. And they see President Biden having led the way in all of those different areas, and in ways that are bringing people together and focused in the same way on the challenges that we have before us and that are common to so many other countries".
