Biden Administration Agenda: Domestic and Foreign Policy Minefields

Ambassador Curtis Ward

President Biden’s domestic and foreign policy agendas are packed with many urgent and complex issues. While domestic issues are subjected to much media attention and public discourse, international affairs are often dealt with through quiet diplomacy, thus escaping the glaring light of the media in the early stages. The Biden administration is engaged in prudent diplomatic processes in pursuit of sound foreign policy objectives, but diplomacy is a slow process. On the other hand, domestic issues demand immediate results and are constantly under the microscope of daily media attention. Primarily among these are the immediate impacts domestic policies generally have on the body politic – the immediate, as well as future impact on Americans.

The Biden administration must prioritize, or seem to, those issues which can easily impact current and future political fortunes. The administration must be wary that successes are seen for what they are in the moment, but failures explode tenfold in the public square. While battling Republican opposition to his domestic policy agenda, President Biden, having announced America’s return to global leadership, must focus much of his attention on foreign policy issues, particularly issues with national security implications for the US and American allies around the world.

    I wanted to continue my rebuttal re Ward’s opinion on Trump’s foreign policies. I would name all the successes. But DNO is not making the comments available to the public as before.

    ADMIN: Your comments have been published. You can check again and let us know if you still don’t see them.

    Yes, foreign policy. Trump is the only president for the last decades who never started a war. Yet under his leadership, was able to decimate almost all the leaders of the terrorists groups.
    Will continue.

    When Biden bring in All the Hispanics to the U.S. Do you know who is going to suffer and get poorer? The Blacks. They will take the jobs the African Americans are doing .And the Democrats know what they are doing.They want blacks to depend on government welfare. Section 8 for housing.And every election just tell the blacks Republicans are racist.
    During the campaign Biden was on a radio show ” The Breakfast Club” and the host ( a black man) asked him.
    ,”What have you done for the blacks?.
    Here is his answer.
    “I am the one who visit them in the projects.”
    In DA we would say, the ghetto.
    And remember he is in government for almost 50yrs and could not point at one thing.

    Truly, I am sad and feel sorry for my fellow blacks. Because we are willingly allowing the Democrats to play us like tops. And the worse part is, people like Mr. Ward, who should know better. And instead of using his knowledge to help us .This man is doing just the opposite.
    Isn’t he aware that, under Obama / Biden, people South of the U. S. border were illegally entering the country by the thousands every week?. And the policy was catch them and give them a date to appear for a hearing and release.And you never see them again.
    Trump came and negotiated with the Mexican president. (1) mexico put thousands of soldiers on the border,to prevent crossing.(2) Anyone who claiming asylum have to apply in Mexico and if granted, then allowed to cross the border into the U.S.
    The 1st day Biden took office he said no Hispanics will be deported,stop the border wall, and no one will remain in Mexico and apply for entry.So Y Ward is say Biden inherited the mess at the border,? I are the cause.

    Uncle Ward you are wrong on many counts. Especially
    “Israel occupying Palestinian territory.”
    This land was divinely given,by God Almighty to them.He (God) made a covenant with Abraham, an Oath to Isaac and confirmed to Jacob for a statute to Israel for an everlasting covenant, saying.
    “To you I will give the land of Canaan.As the allotment of your inheritance.”
    And in my Jeremiah 31:36 the God that is said.
    “Israel shall NEVER cease from being a nation.”
    And friend, God don’t care what the U.N. say or thinks.

    DNO talking about Biden and his foreign policy I really wonder where Dominica fits in.
    Another important piece of information that the US media is following is, the FBI raid on the home and office of President Trumps personal lawyer Mr. Rodolph Giuliani, as they continue to investigate the criminal role Ukraine and Mr. Giuliani played for former president. Dominicans should keep an eye on this because of a letter Democratic senators wrote to the Senate. Let’s not forget in their letter, the senators raise questions about additional work Giuliani has done on behalf of the governments of Chile, DOMINICA, Uruguay, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador and the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine, as well as a letter Giuliani sent to the president of Romania taking a position on anti-corruption.
    So we might get to know what work Mr. Guiliani did for Dominica along with Ukraine. I will post the letter from the US senators because judging by the nature of the letter, it looks very corrupt
