President Joe Biden will on Tuesday issue a defense of American leadership and reiterate U.S. support for Ukraine, during a speech at the United Nations, officials said.
Biden's presence on the world stage will come one week after he returned from a trip to India and Vietnam, where he pushed for development bank reform at a meeting of "Group of 20" leaders in New Delhi, India, and in Hanoi, Vietnam, agreed to significantly upgrade U.S.-Vietnamese relations.
It also comes at the White House and Biden's campaign seeks to present him as a global leader providing results for the American leaders -- hard at work -- in contrast, they say, with former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner in the Republican primary presidential election. He will meet with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Thursday as both men push Congress to approve $24 billion more in funding for Kyiv over the objections of some House Republicans.
Israeli prime ministers often meet with U.S. counterparts much more quickly; Biden, though, has called Netanyahu's government the most extreme in decades and has offered measured criticism the Israeli prime minister's handling of historic pro-democracy protests in Israel.
