Cooperate despite ‘genocide’, Biden tests ties with China, Russia 20 Apr 2021 / 15:18 H.
WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden’s (
pix) administration accuses China of genocide but reached a joint pledge to cooperate on climate. The White House is also working to arrange a summit with Russia, despite imposing harsh new sanctions.
Biden’s strategy is not about easing tensions, so often the stated goal of diplomacy, but identifying narrow areas to work together especially on climate change while acknowledging that much of the relationship will remain hostile.
Biden alluded to America’s Cold War relationship with the Soviet Union last week after he ordered sanctions and the expulsion of Russian diplomats as a way to impose costs over Moscow’s alleged interference in US elections and a major hacking operation.
