In his first visit to the State Department as president, President Joe Biden called for a return to the “grounding wire of our global power.” He sought to buck up the diplomatic corps, many of whom were discouraged by the policies and tone of former President Donald Trump.

Biden says his administration will work with Beijing when it is beneficial for the U.S. "We are ready to work with Beijing when it is in America's interest to do so."

Asserting a broad reset of American foreign policy, Biden said Thursday that he would halt the withdrawal of U.S. troops stationed in Germany, end support for Saudi Arabia’s military offensive in Yemen and make support for LBTGQ rights a cornerstone of diplomacy.“America is back. Diplomacy is back,” Biden said in brief remarks to the State Department staff. “You are the center of all that I intend to do. You are the heart of it. We’re going to rebuild our alliances”
