With the arrival of Joe Biden to the White House, a new slogan appeared.

"America is back", "America is back", a slogan which replaced that of the "America first" of its predecessor, in a declared desire to "detump" America, but to date the result is rather uncertain.

If there is continuity on the hard line vis-à-vis China, now is the time for questioning as the new Biden administration seemed anxious to restore multilateralism, Atlanticism and American leadership.

Eight months after Joe Biden arrived at the White House, America First seems less distant than we imagined, to the point that we now wonder if Joe Biden is not normalizing politics foreign to its predecessor.
