UNITED NATIONS (AP) President Joe Biden used his first address before the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday to summon allies to move more quickly to address the festering issues of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and human rights abuses, while insisting the U.S. is not seeking a new Cold War with China.
The president said the halting of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan last month, ending Americas longest war, set the table for his administration to shift U.S. attention to intensive diplomacy at a moment with no shortage of crises facing the globe.
To deliver for our own people, we must also engage deeply with the rest of the world, he said.
He added: Were opening a new era of relentless diplomacy, of using the power of our development aid to invest in new ways of lifting people up around the world.
