President Joe Biden wrapped up his time at the Group of 20 summit on Sunday trying to convince Americans and the wider world that he’s got things under control.
On climate change, he’s got $900 billion planned for renewable energy, and Congress will vote next week. On supply chains, he has plans to make the ports run better. For workers, he’s building an economy with pay raises. On diplomacy, world leaders trust him. But he also acknowledged what he can’t yet fix: bringing Russia and China to the table with the broader international community to deal with the existential threat of climate change.
In a news conference Sunday, the U.S. president spelled out his belief that all politics is personal and that what progress was achieved came from direct interactions with other leaders.
“They know me. I know them,” Biden said of his fellow G-20 leaders. “We get things done together.”
“We’ve made significant progress and more has to be done,” Biden added. “But it’s going to require us to continue to focus on what Russia’s not doing, what China’s not doing, what Saudi Arabia’s not doing.”
