Biden Slams 'Irrational' Foreign Policy as Trump Departs for G-7

Joe Biden offered a prebuttal to Donald Trump’s statements on economics and foreign policy on Friday before the president was due to leave the country for the Group of Seven meeting, at which point Biden said he’d refrain from critical commentary.

“This week, in the lead-up to the G-7 in France, President Trump has continued his irrational and self-defeating campaign to make America less secure and less respected in the world,” the former vice president said in a statement provided to Bloomberg News.

Biden, who spent decades on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has sought to use his extensive foreign policy experience as a cudgel against Trump and as a distinguishing factor with his many Democratic opponents.
