US President Joe Biden warned of the rise of isolationism in the US during a visit to a US military cemetery in France that his predecessor, Donald Trump, famously skipped six years ago.
The World War I Aisne-Marne American Cemetery is the final resting place for soldiers who fought in the U.S. Marine Corps’ deadliest battle to date, Biden said, and he couldn’t fathom the idea that I had come to Normandy and not make the short trip here to pay tribute.
The US president did not mention Trump by name during a brief call with reporters after a wreath-laying ceremony and declined to answer a question about his expected opponent in 2024, but his target was unmistakable.
