US President Joe Biden reflected on his administration’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, highlighting two key achievements: rallying global support for Ukraine and preventing a nuclear conflict.”

While delivering a foreign policy address on how his administration has strengthened America at home and around the world, Biden said that his office had also laid down the foundation for the coming Trump administration to continue supporting Ukraine.  

“As I saw it, when Putin launched his invasion, I had two jobs: to rally the world to defend Ukraine and avoid war between two nuclear powers…We did both…And we’ve laid the foundation for the next administration to preserve a bright future for the Ukrainian people,” Biden said.  

Biden further emphasised that under his leadership, “America is stronger” with stronger alliances and weaker adversaries and competitors.  

“Since Kamala (Harris) and I took office, our nation has become stronger at home and in the world,” he said.  

“America today is more capable and prepared than we have been for a long time,” he added.  

The outgoing US president also highlighted improvements in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), noting that prior to his administration, only nine NATO allies were meeting the 2 per cent GDP defence spending target set up by the organisation, which has now risen to 23 NATO allies reaching the benchmark.
