• USA Democrats launch doomed immigration reform

US President Joe Biden today presented his credentials in Europe determined to recover transatlantic relations that his predecessor neglected, propose a joint strategy with Russia and China and express his readiness for new nuclear negotiations with Iran.

Biden said everything European leaders wanted to hear and further reminded them that

"I am a man of my word

.

"

"America is back, the transatlantic alliance is back. Let's not look back. Europe and the United States must be the cornerstone on which to build the 21st century, as we did together in the 20th," declared Biden in his highly anticipated speech at the Munich Security Conference, the first by an American president.

Biden has warned that democracy "is in danger" in the US and Europe.

In addition to pointing out that the struggle between democracy and autocracy is at

a "turning point

.

"

"Democracy does not occur by accident, we have to defend it, strengthen it, renew it and we have to prove that our model is not a relic of our history," he said.

Biden, who has already participated in this forum three times as vice president and two years ago, in a private capacity, assured that his Administration wants to work closely with Europe and

promote multilateralism

, both to combat the coronavirus pandemic and to revitalize the UN and its agencies, combat terrorism, ensure the territorial integrity of countries, guarantee stability in world order and combat abuses of world trade as a way to guarantee equity in wealth.

"We have to prepare for a long and tough competition with China. The United States and Europe need a joint strategy that, in addition to defending our values, protects our efforts in innovation, intellectual property and the rules that we have given ourselves for fair play trade. We cannot allow economic abuses and coercion that obstruct the foundations of the world economic system, "said Biden, canceling the" Bid Deal "that Trump promised with Xi Jinping.

It was not the first reference to the rivalry between the United States and China made at the Conference.

The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, referred to her in his speech, although in a warning tone.

"

We cannot imagine a future if the two great economies of the world are entrenched on opposite sides

, whether in trade, in the development of artificial intelligence or in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. An economic and technological gap can turn into one. geostrategic and military gap, "he said.

Biden prefers deals with Europe in a world that sees the path of authoritarianism and democracy.

"We fight for the same democratic values ​​and against those who monopolize and exercise oppression," stressed Biden to attack Russia, which he accused of trying to weaken the security of his country with cyber attacks and sabotage the European project and transatlantic relations.

"It is easier for the Kremlin to intimidate individual states than to negotiate with a united community. Its leaders try to describe us as if we are as corrupt as they are. But the world and the Russian citizens themselves, know that it is not true," added Biden, who Even though the challenges posed by Russia and China were differentiated, he described them as equally important.

"This is not a confrontation between the East and the West, we do not want to return to the Cold War blocs.

We want a future where countries can choose their path without threats,

" said the president, who defended Ukraine's territorial integrity.

New negotiations with Iran

Biden referred to the threat posed by the proliferation of nuclear weapons and called for an immediate intervention of diplomacy and international cooperation.

He explained that for this reason the United States has prolonged the New Start agreement with Russia and is willing to new negotiations with Iran, a pact that Donald Trump abandoned, leaving his European partners in an uncomfortable situation.

In a somewhat rhetorical but very well received speech in Munich, Biden repeated all the announcements already made since his entry into the White House.

The United States returns to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, will keep the troops that Trump announced to withdraw in Germany, will persist in the search for peace in Afghanistan and will remain faithful to NATO and its Article V.

"Attacking one is an attack against all, "

Biden recalled to acknowledge the cooperation of the allies in the fight against terrorism after the Islamist attack on September 11 in his country.

Chancellor Angela Merkel, who participated together with her French colleague, Emmanuel Macron, in the same segment of the Conference as Biden, responded to his speech with a "Germany is ready for a new chapter in transatlantic relations" and to design an agenda with China.

Macron took the opportunity to defend a more independent European Union in defense matters, as the best way to strengthen NATO and a multilateralism that produces results. "
