WATCH: CNN Grills Psaki On Biden Needing To ‘Restore U.S. Credibility’ After Afghanistan, France Debacles

CNN’s Jeremy Diamond pressed White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday about President Joe Biden’s speech tomorrow at the United States and about what Biden plans to do to address numerous recent international crises that have unfolded during Biden’s presidency.

“And just on the foreign policy front with the U.N. visit tomorrow, President Biden came into office declaring that America is back in vowing to reinvigorate U.S. alliances,” Diamond said. “But in recent weeks, we’ve seen European allies be unsettled by the execution of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the administration has admitted to mistakenly killing 10 civilians in this drone strike. And now the U.S.’s  oldest ally, France, has recalled its ambassador after being blindsided by this submarine deal with Australia.”

“So my question to you is, how is the President going to restore U.S. credibility at the U.N. this week after all that?” he asked.

Psaki responded by saying that Biden was going to focus on laying out a case “for why the next decade will determine our future not just for the United States, but for the global community.”
