On Sunday, Joe Biden has said that if he gets elected, he will convene a global summit of democracies in the first year of his presidency to counter the rising authoritarianism in the world and address issues of election security and human rights.
Biden accused President Donald Trump of embracing every autocrat in the world which he said has undermined America’s credibility.
During a conference call on Sunday Biden said: “One of the things that have hurt us so badly, is that this president has embraced every thug and every autocrat in the world, in ways that have undermined our credibility.”
He saidf: “I’ll energise the community of democracies to counter the rising authoritarianism we see in the world. In my first year, we’re going to host a summit of the democracies to address election security, human rights, etc.”
Responding to questions on China, he said trade, human rights and security are the three main issues.
Criticising President Trump’s policies toward China, he said, “Trump caved to Chinese leaders every time. He let them off the hook, started a trade war, etc. Trump gave them the green light to put millions of Chinese Uighurs in concentration camps.”
