More than 100 days into his term, U.S. President Joe Biden is showing that Asia will remain a key security priority for his administration despite a plethora of vexing challenges he faces at home.
Biden’s team has been quick out of the gates to highlight Washington’s renewed commitment to what it sees as a region at the core of its foreign policy, with the president using a chunk of his first speech to a joint session of Congress to reassure U.S. allies.
"In my conversations with world leaders — many I’ve known for a long time — the comment I hear most often is: We see that America is back — but for how long?" he said.
