The current president of the United States made an announcement to leave the 2024 presidential race. This action is a smart move by Biden. He took this after a tough debate with former president of the United States, Donald Trump. Many leaders across the world think that it is a good step and they were happy with it.
However, they also praised his services such as boosting NATO, supporting Ukraine, and promoting democracy. Normally, they don’t comment on US elections, but they showed their appreciation for what he did during his time in office. World leaders also admired his efforts to bring new energy to international alliances and his commitment to democratic principles. Overall, all think that he was a good leader and also set an excellent democratic example internationally.
Olaf Scholz, Germany’s Chancellor also praises Biden for his work. It includes strong NATO, bringing close to transatlantic cooperation and a reliable partnership with the United States. Keir Starmer, British Prime Minister also appreciated Biden and said he is the best leader for America. Taiwanese lawmaker Wang Ting-yu appreciates Biden’s support for Taiwan, especially with arms sales and military aid.
Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has had many disputes with Biden over the Israel-Palestine conflict. Still, Israel’s Prime Minister plans to meet with Joe Biden and thanks him for his support.
Many political leaders appreciated the political career of Joe Biden. But there is also a sense of relief beneath the admiration. European officials have been quietly concerned for some time about whether Biden can win re-election and what a second Trump presidency might mean for NATO, Ukraine, and international cooperation.
Michael Martins, who runs the London-based political consultancy Overton Advisory, noted that there is a “low-level anxiety” in Europe about how U.S. foreign policy could change if Trump returns to the White House. This anxiety is particularly acute in Eastern Europe, where nations feel more vulnerable to Russian aggression.
Additionally these countries are also worried about the Second Trump presidency. They think that how this presidency could impact their security relation with the United States. They are afraid that a shift in the US foreign policy could make them even more exposed to potential threats from Russia.
Also Donald Trump stands against Ukraine and has warned NATO allies that he might let Russia do whatever it wants to countries that don’t pay their fair share into the alliance. He also highlighted that he allowed Russia to take control of parts of Ukraine and end the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. According to Trump, he is the one that can end the war within a day.
A senior European official, speaking anonymously to avoid upsetting an administration they might need to work with, said that all US allies are closely watching the election, worried about how it might affect future relations.
Kamala Harris also has very strong support from Joe Biden. This is an exceptional case and also this support is beneficial for her in the race for the Democratic nomination.
His endorsement is likely to boost her chances, but it’s still unclear whether she will be the final candidate or if she can defeat Trump in the general election. Many people are watching closely to see how this situation will evolve and what the outcomes might be for her and the country.
It’s a waiting game at the moment, and people across the world have to see how the political landscape shifts in the coming weeks and months.
Russia didn’t hold back when the announcement was made. They used it as an opportunity to criticize Biden and attack the U.S. political system. The Russian response was quite harsh, openly bashing American politics and pointing out flaws in the way the U.S. government operates and handles issues.
According to the spokeswoman for Moscow’s foreign ministry, Maria Zakharova:
“The next step after Biden’s written statement about withdrawing from the election race should be an investigation into the collusion of the American media and political circles.”
Zakharova said that the media and system of the United States don’t aware people of the truth and hide the reality about their mental state. She blamed them for manipulating public opinion to favor one political party. According to her, this has been done to influence how people view the situation and its impact on politics.
