Biden says NATO leaders are asking him to beat Donald Trump

The president of USA, Joe Bidenbegan a press conference in which he highlighted the achievements made by the NATO during their summit this week, at a time when the leader is facing increasing calls to withdraw his presidential bid.

As of Thursday afternoon, around a dozen Democratic representatives had asked him to withdraw from the race. However, Biden held a press conference in an effort to show that he is capable of continuing in office for another four years.

Citizens are on the alert and officials are considering lobbying for an alternative.

Far from announcing his resignation from the candidacy, Biden assured this Thursday that NATO leaders have not asked him to end his candidacy for the November elections, but rather to beat his possible rival, former Republican president Donald Trump.“I haven’t had any European allies come to me and say, Joe, don’t run. What I hear them saying is, you have to win.”

Meanwhile, his rival, Donald Trump, emphasized that, “He is the most qualified person to be a presidential candidate.” “I beat him once and I will beat him again.”“, he stressed. And he hopes that in this new period he can “complete the work” he started.

At the NATO summit, however, the focus was on the American president. Some diplomats expressed concern about both the possibility of instability in the alliance’s most powerful and richest partner and the unpredictability that a return to the White House by Trump could bring.

Finally, at the press conference he said he is ready to continue being the president of the United States, which gives him great power in foreign policy. He also said he is ready to deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping. “I am prepared to deal with them now and in three years’ time… there is no world leader that I am not prepared to deal with.”

Biden is the oldest president in US history at 81. By the end of his next four years in the White House, he would reach the age of 86.
