After one year with Biden in charge, friendly nations say they’re much happier with U.S. foreign policy, but they’re frustrated by the lack of high-level access and plodding decision-making

When Donald Trump was at the helm, America’s allies were deeply critical of his administration's foreign policies. On the plus side, the freewheeling White House gave them wide-ranging access to top officials.

While fewer diplomats now have tweet notifications set for White House accounts, the rub is that they feel left out by an administration that takes pains to say it’s deliberate and consultative. Officials from smaller nations, mainly in Europe, are getting that message. As one ambassador said of the State Department protocol office: “They’ve done zero. They will say it’s because of Covid, yeah, but guys: come on.”

But EU Ambassador Stavros Lambrinidis lauded the Biden team for “taking the drama out of the relationship,” and noted that “when you bring skin to the game: they listen.”

Not a word about how the US State Department was hollowed out under Trump and how senate Republicans are dragging their feet in approving the appointment of staff.

He needs a lot of naps. And unlike Trump, he's not constantly dialing for dollars (for himself and his evil, corrupt, criminal family). You might usefully point that out, you clowns.

Trump negotiated a bad China deal. It has expired -- yet perplexingly, Biden isn't abandoning itOPINION: The Phase One trade agreement contained no real mechanism for enforcing the global trading rules. It’s time for the U.S. to abandon the deal, global trade attorney Neena Shenai writes. Trump had the right idea. It was a stepping stone to further and better agreements. You gotta start somewhere. Biden can’t hold a knowledgeable conversation so of course he can’t build on what was started and it’s all falling apart because of it. biden doesn't even know what he wore today, to think he'd even be aware of who the leader of china is, is a stretch.

How Biden's approval ratings have changed during his Ffrst year in officePresident Biden concludes his first year in office with the second-lowest approval rating of any President's freshman year at the White House. Low approval with media & the elite help! Biden won't be happy with that! He is a record breaker with votes/jobs/economy etc so being second (even if it's second to last) is a disappointment, he wants to be number 1!
