Leaders Are Panicking to Meet Trump and Harris - But What's Biden's Real Plan?

Leaders from around the globe are scrambling to schedule high-stakes meetings with former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Kamala Harris, and they're not just doing it for a photo opportunity. They want to gain insight into who the next leader of the United States might be.

According to sources close to the United Nations General Assembly, many foreign dignitaries see this week’s event in New York City as an essential moment to establish relationships and bolster security ties ahead of next year’s US presidential election.

As the 2024 election looms closer, foreign leaders know that building relationships with both potential front-runners and potential dark horses will be vital to securing America’s support on various global issues.

However, the current leader of the United States, President Joe Biden, has a reputation of emphasizing diplomacy on the global stage. This week, Biden - along with several leading officials in his administration - will utilize this as an opportunity to forge ties with the international community, strengthen commitments to existing allies, and define America’s influence across multiple conflicts growing momentum in Europe, Africa, and beyond.

Roth Stein, an international diplomacy analyst at the Strategic Action for Global Security Institute, stated that the flurry of diplomatic interactions and diplomatic intrigue surrounding the UNGA happen every year. With Washington witnessing domestic uneasiness in Biden’s administration due to low domestic approval ratings, officials like Biden take an active role in rallying fellow world leaders.

For almost a decade now, President Biden worked consistently in forging partnerships dedicated to fighting issues on climate action, economic stability, and humanitarianism for suffering communities worldwide. Many see him determined to serve a second time in the presidency and view this ambition as a personal mission of his.

Experts warn that current United States diplomatic pushes should not, however, be viewed as mutually exclusive to internal election politics.

At this year’s United Nations General Assembly foreign leaders openly admit to seeing a US administration ready for engagement after years of chaos. 'Many felt frustrated with an impulsive pattern by Washington officials serving under the previous administration,' says Stein, stating though also that they know Biden is strong willed this is where clear diplomacy was badly needed.

For many nations going through harsh economic periods - the appeal in making friends and foes lies within working and staying securely intertwined within the world monetary grid and all others related to prosperity. Furthermore - making ties helps keep rogue governments in check giving needed security across many of the continents' bordering territories - a main concern of the overall stability, this is being determined based mainly off newly ratified policies as recently as last year.

Lindsey Neumig from the Strauss-Leydis global focus group argued these summits often hold an immense amount of weight yet, America takes this approach amid its domestic policy to achieve peace, economic trade on an important global stage.

Yet as the globe gets set to see growing power shifts towards the west once again - tensions in northernmost Europe get magnified. United Kingdom officials see an opportunity to exploit this jockeying of position to press Biden into accelerating military relations.

This, again reflects a very bold move by the ruling UK officials pushing current president, Joe Biden, as a lone contender not wanting an alliance against a battle for freedom in that part of the world as they see possible peace may be nothing more than an illusion.

Other official diplomats offer this glimpse as reassurance as global US stature may see new momentum given Washington may actually make these power position changes when Biden - then presumably Trump by consequence - should continue not to listen to these UK-Atlantic pleas from international leaders ultimately positioning all, with no end in sight - an end war stalemate in the final days into the start of this ever raging conflict in future.
