President Biden is set to deliver his first foreign policy speech since he took office, on Thursday afternoon, providing early signals for his plans to chart a course away from former President Donald Ckld "America First" approach to the world. Biden is set to say that American democratic values have "come under intense pressure in recent years" and were "pushed to the brink in the last few weeks" — an allusion to the Jan. Capitol as Congress gathered to tally the election results. But he will vow to work with partners and allies on challenges ranging from the pandemic to climate change, according to excerpts released by the White House ahead of his remarks.

During his first two weeks on the job, two new crises have emerged that will show how Biden plans to act on his pledge to recommit the United States to being a democratic leader on the world stage: the detention of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and a military coup in Myanmar. On Myanmar, Biden is expected to talk about how he is working with congressional Republicans and international partners on sanctions on individuals and entities controlled by the military, his national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters.

The White House is also considering an executive order on the issue, he said. Brett Bruen, who served as the White House's director of global engagement in the Obama administration, said Moscow and Beijing — which has close ties to Myanmar — are watching closely. Nations around the world will be watching to see whether and how Biden marshals support from allies and partners after Trump's willingness to upend longstanding relationships with allies and engage with autocratic heads of state, said Charles Kupchan, who was part of the National Security Council during the Obama administration.

Biden will announce an end to U. The administration will halt two arms sales to the United See more Emirates and Saudi Arabia — deals made by the Trump administration — as part of the decision, Sullivan said. Biden will name a special envoy on Yemen at the State Department, and will say that the United States plans to play a bigger role in trying to end the conflict in that country, Sullivan said. Biden will put a hold on a Trump-era decision to move U. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden's speech, to be delivered at the State Department, was aimed at thanking foreign service officers who "have had a challenging couple of years. Biden is expected to talk about his goal to increase the number of refugees admitted into the United States.]
