WASHINGTON, June 26, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Ahead of their first presidential debate, Joe Biden and Donald Trump are offering sharply different visions of the US role in the world, both in style and substance. - Russia and Ukraine -Biden has spearheaded international efforts to support Ukraine after Russia invaded the neighboring country -- in defiance of his direct warnings -- in February 2022. With Biden's encouragement, the US Congress has approved $175 billion in support for Ukraine, including weapons and budgetary support. But the Biden administration faults Trump for backing Netanyahu in sidestepping the Palestinian issue in the push for Arab recognition of Israel. Biden has also accused Trump of worsening Iran's nuclear program by withdrawing from a deal negotiated under former president Barack Obama.
