Wed May 07 20:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Former President Biden Sounds Alarm on Trump’s Foreign Policy in Exclusive Interview
**Wilmington, DE –** In his first interview since leaving office, former President Joe Biden delivered a scathing critique of his successor, Donald Trump’s, first 100 days in office, expressing deep concern over Trump’s handling of foreign affairs and the potential unraveling of the Atlantic Alliance.
Speaking from his Delaware home, Biden, 82, voiced particular anger at Trump’s treatment of Ukraine and other allies. He described Trump’s rhetoric, which included suggestions of acquiring Greenland and potentially annexing parts of Canada, as “beneath America” and far removed from the nation’s values of freedom and democracy.
Biden’s primary concern, however, centers on the weakening of the US-European alliance, which he credits with securing peace and democracy for eight decades. He warned that the alliance’s potential collapse would profoundly alter world history, leaving a vacuum for powers like China and Russia to fill. He cited comments from former NATO officials describing recent VE Day celebrations as feeling more like a funeral, highlighting the growing unease within the alliance.
The former president expressed alarm at Trump’s suggestions that Ukraine cede territory to Russia to end the war, calling it “modern-day appeasement.” He emphasized that Putin views Ukraine as historically Russian territory and that any belief that he would easily back down is foolish. Biden defended his own approach to the Ukraine conflict, arguing that he provided Ukraine with the necessary support to defend itself without escalating the conflict into a wider war with nuclear powers. He maintained that avoiding World War III was paramount.
While Biden acknowledged facing criticism for not providing Ukraine with sufficient weaponry to win outright, he countered that he gave them everything needed for their independence and that the administration was prepared for a more aggressive response if necessary.
Biden’s interview also touched on his decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. While acknowledging the difficulty of the decision, he maintained that it was ultimately the right choice, given his age and the strength of the then-candidate, Kamala Harris.
Despite his concerns, Biden expressed a degree of optimism, suggesting that the Republican Party may be starting to recognize the dangers of Trump’s approach. He concluded by emphasizing the ongoing need for every generation to fight for democracy, expressing worry about a growing lack of understanding of the consequences of failing to do so.
