Joe Biden does not run for president in 2020 – "at this point"

At an event in London, Biden was questioned about whether he could provide the best alternative to President Donald Trump in foreign policy matters.

Instead, Biden said every potential Democratic candidate for the 2020 presidential campaign would adopt a "more enlightened foreign policy" than the current president.

"I think a lot of people in the Democratic Party can defeat Trump and not a budding candidate who I can think of for the nomination – and I'm not one at the moment – does not have a better understanding and formulation US Foreign Policy Speaker Trump, "Biden told CNN during a question-and-answer session at an event held at Chatham House.

"I'm not a high-ranking supporter here – the president acknowledged at first that he did not know much about foreign policy." He said he was looking at the information, although I think that He is more and more informed by necessity, "he said. added. "I think there are a number of potential candidates seeking to be nominated by (California Democratic Senator) Kamala Harris to a whole host of people from my party who would pursue a far more enlightened foreign policy than the president."

The former vice president said that he would decide whether to pursue a candidacy for the presidency after the mid-term elections. Trump previously described the prospect of running against Biden in 2020 as a "dream".

Biden's comments come after he delivered a speech on transatlantic relations at Chatham House. During these talks, he refrained from directly criticizing the President, but warned against a "cry of nationalism, populism and phony xenophobia that exists in many Western democracies, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. United States of America".

Trump began to criticize his potential rivals, including Biden, during campaign events. At a rally in Kansas last week, the president called Biden "Sleepy Joe" and took note of the former vice president's suggestion that while he was in high school he would take Trump "behind a gym" after his raw comments about the women captured the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape.

"I'd love it," Trump said. "Go like this," he said, blowing in his hand, "and he is shot, he would never get up."
