Thu May 08 14:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Biden Launches Scathing Attack on Trump’s Foreign Policy in First Post-Presidency Interview
**Washington, D.C.** – Six months after his party’s defeat in the 2024 presidential election, former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. has broken his post-White House silence with a sharp critique of President Trump’s foreign policy. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Biden condemned Trump’s handling of the war in Ukraine, citing his February meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky as “beneath America.” He also criticized Trump’s past pronouncements about renaming the Gulf of Mexico, reclaiming the Panama Canal, and acquiring Greenland, stating, “What the hell’s going on here? That’s not who we are.”
Biden’s remarks, a stark departure from the typical reticence of former presidents regarding their successors, mark a significant re-entry into the public sphere. While he didn’t explicitly name Trump, the criticism was unmistakable. The former president also defended his decision to withdraw from the 2024 race.
This public intervention comes amidst internal Democratic Party debate over the party’s future, with some blaming Biden for the election loss and advocating for a shift towards younger leaders. Biden’s actions suggest he intends to remain a prominent figure in the party’s discourse, despite the calls for a generational change.
