Biden in late push to boost Indo-Pacific ties sends three pacts to Congress
Associated PressJAN 31
What the Biden administration has done to solidify ties with nations in the Indo-Pacific, in the face of threats from North Korea and China, is amazing. At the outset, relations between the US and the region were at an all-time low, but now the one-on-one relationships have strengthened and the overlaps in those dealings have made the US and those nations more secure.
The Biden administration shouldn't be patting itself on the back. While Indo-Pacific relations are important, they're miniscule compared to the administration's failures dealing with the Ukraine-Russia war, the war in Gaza, and the US withdrawal from Afghanistan — the latter of which was terrible for US standing and emboldened America's enemies.
