There’s a lot we still
don’t know about how President-elect Joe Biden and his foreign policy team will
approach the world. But this much is clear: They believe in American
“leadership.”
In a 2015 speech, Antony
Blinken, Mr. Biden’s choice to be secretary of state, employed some version of
the word 21 times. This spring, Mr. Biden wrote an essay in Foreign Affairs
titled “Why America Must Lead Again.” Last week, when he introduced his
national security nominees, he said that “America is back, ready to lead the
world.”
Let’s hope not. In the post-Trump age, “leadership” is a misguided, and even dangerous, vision for America’s relationship with the rest of the globe.
