President Joe Biden tells UNGA that US is not seeking a new 'cold war' with China as he vows to pivot from post-9/11 conflicts and take a global leadership role on crises from climate to Covid
The president noted his decision to end America's longest war last month, in Afghanistan, and set the table for his administration to shift US attention to intensive diplomacy with no shortage of crises facing the globe.
But Biden was facing a healthy measure of skepticism from allies during his week of high-level diplomacy. He has faced differences over how to go about sharing coronavirus vaccines with the developing world and over pandemic travel restrictions.
