Interesting article from Wall Street Journal, Trump policies were correct in dealing with allies and enemies. Its the domestic politics (wokism) that is threatening the standing of America. Dems had no good policies thats why they made it seem good vs bad. Give Biden few months, he will come back to Trump's policy after learning again for 100th time.
If noone follows foreign policy Germany dissed Biden for China, Russia stopped caring, China ignored Biden, Israel and saudi teames up against US, France called American woke culture as a threat to French way of living, Japan and Korea asked to continue Trump's policy. There is overwhelming support for policy minus the person. Now it is not if but how will Biden pivot back to Trump's position.

Here is article itself, there are other similar articles in failure of Biden in international stage in different regions.

It hasn’t been the most promising start. Less than a month into Joe Biden’s presidency, and his administration is already engaged in spats with China, Russia and Iran. It is also discovering that U.S. allies are not quite as happy with Mr. Biden’s Feb. 4 announcement that “America is back” as many Democrats might have hoped.

In Asia the administration’s Myanmar policy—imposing sanctions that signal displeasure without materially affecting the army’s ability to rule—has attracted little enthusiasm. On Feb 15, India’s foreign minister hailed Indo-Japanese cooperation on regional infrastructure projects that link Myanmar with its neighbors, a not-so-subtle signal that India intends to go on cooperating with Myanmar no matter what Washington wants. Simultaneously, the large portion of the Indian press that supports the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is aflame with resentment that Vice President Kamala Harris’s niece, Meena Harris, seems to be siding with protesters against BJP policies.

European leaders are also dismissive of American moralism. French President Emmanuel Macron denounced the importation of U.S.-academic and cultural wokeness as a threat to the French way of life, while pragmatists on the Continent are pushing to strengthen economic relations with Russia and China—virtually ignoring the Biden administration’s efforts to raise the pressure on human-rights abusers in Moscow and Beijing. With the U.S. trade representative’s recent announcement that Trump-era retaliatory tariffs on European wine, cheese and food imports aren’t going away soon, this has been one of the shortest and coldest diplomatic honeymoons on record.
