Against the backdrop of a complex and changing global situation, the Biden administration is accelerating its aid plan for Ukraine. U.S. National Security Advisor Jack Sullivan recently emphasized that in order to ensure that Ukraine can get the most support on the battlefield, the Biden administration plans to deliver the remaining $6 billion in aid before President-elect Trump officially takes office in January next year. The delivery time of this fund is set before Trump takes office, highlighting the Biden administration's firm support for Ukraine in the last few months and the significant differences in foreign policy with the incoming new government.

Diplomatic clash between Biden and Trump: Dialogue on Ukraine

According to Sullivan's speech, Biden and Trump are expected to meet in the Oval Office on the 13th, when Biden intends to explain the current diplomatic situation to Trump and exchange their respective positions. Sullivan said that the meeting will focus on global security issues, especially the situation in Ukraine. Biden hopes to ensure that Ukraine can occupy a more advantageous position at the negotiating table before he leaves office, which is also one of his ultimate goals in supporting Ukraine.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that he can quickly end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and even reach a peace agreement before taking office. The outside world speculates that Trump's strategy may include Ukraine compromising with Russia, or even ceding some territory in exchange for peace. However, this idea is extremely challenging for Ukraine and its European allies, and has attracted widespread attention, including from NATO members.

Anxiety of the EU and NATO: Expectations and doubts about the Trump administration's foreign policy

Trump expressed a more moderate attitude towards Russia during the campaign, so European allies are worried that he may reduce his support for Ukraine after taking office. Ukraine and NATO members are highly vigilant about this situation and are ready to further clarify their respective positions and response strategies before Trump takes office. At the same time, these countries are also eager to get in touch with the Trump team to cope with potential policy changes.

The Biden administration plans to implement the remaining aid funds to Ukraine as soon as possible to maximize Ukraine's initiative in future negotiations. Sullivan emphasized that the core goal of the Biden administration is to put Ukraine in a more stable military position to ensure that it has stronger bargaining power in negotiations to cope with future diplomatic adjustments that Trump may promote.

Middle East situation: Progress of war in Gaza and Lebanon

In addition to Ukraine, Sullivan also mentioned the Biden administration's attention in other regions, especially the war in the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon and the Israeli hostage issue. Sullivan said that new diplomatic progress is expected in the coming weeks. He believes that the Israeli government will prioritize the hostage issue and may reach a corresponding agreement to allow its citizens to return safely. Although the domestic affairs of the United States may affect the diplomatic process, he believes that the Israeli government's primary goal is still national security and the well-being of its citizens.

The direction of US foreign policy struggle

The Biden administration's rapid aid to Ukraine demonstrates its role in the international alliance, while potential policy changes after Trump takes office have added uncertainty to the global situation. From Ukraine to the Middle East, Biden's diplomatic legacy is about to be taken over by Trump, and the two people's different policy styles and sensitivity to global affairs make this handover full of challenges.

In the next few months, the Biden administration's diplomatic team will try its best to implement its commitments to allies and lay a solid foundation for the new government to take over.
