U.S. president should be experienced at foreign policy

Not so long ago then-President Donald Trump met with Kim Jong Un. After this meeting, he announced his success in that North Korea would no longer be a nuclear threat. After the meeting, North Korea built its "monster missile." He withdrew from the nuclear agreement with Iran. After that move, Iran began a robust, renewed uranium enrichment program. He refused to endorse NATO's Article 5, a mutual defense agreement. This has been called “one of the greatest diplomatic blunders since World War II." Currently, it is our NATO allies who have joined us in the fight against Putin.

Trump's knowledge and ability to handle foreign affairs is pitifully inept. Instead of maneuvering carefully through the minefield of foreign affairs, Trump charges ahead like a bull in a china shop. Considering the situations with Iran, Russia, Israel, Taiwan, and China, it is paramount that the president of the U.S. be experienced in foreign affairs. Electing Trump again would be disastrous. Biden's credentials in foreign affairs have been impressive for many years. Currently, he is striking a careful balance in the turmoil. And he will never get any love letters from those leading our enemies. Every voter needs to think about these facts when casting a ballot. Perhaps we could elect Trump again when the world situation has considerably improved.
