From the Washington Examiner: President Joe Biden on Monday defended his foreign policy record and said he’s giving the incoming Trump administration a stronger hand to play on the world stage.

Speaking at the State Department in his final week as commander in chief, Biden said the United States has more friends and stronger alliances as he leaves office. He urged President-elect Donald Trump to carry forward his legacy, especially on climate agreements and U.S. global leadership.

On his deadliest foreign policy mistake — the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan that killed 13 service members — Biden stood by his decision to end the war that started after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“I’m the first president in decades to not leave the war in Afghanistan to his successor,” Biden said during his farewell address to State Department employees in Washington, D.C.


Biden then reached into one jacket pocket, and finding nothing, searched the other pocket, again finding nothing, as he said he usually carries a card with “the actual number of dead and wounded incurred in our longest war” to remind himself of the bloodshed.

“Ending the war was the right thing to do and I believe history will reflect that,” Biden declared.

Several social media users are commenting that they supported withdrawing from Afghanistan, but note the way Biden did it was the real disaster.
