Nearly 17 months after U.S. President Joe Biden came into office, the world is still reeling from a pandemic, Russia is fighting a brutal war in neighboring Ukraine, Iran has gotten closer to a nuclear bomb, and an energy crisis is spiraling out of control.

What is Biden’s foreign policy? Where should his administration be given credit, and where has it failed in this new geopolitical environment? What does the United States stand to gain if the president continues to view the world through the prism of democracies aligned against autocracies?

In a special edition of FP LiveMatthew Duss, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’s foreign-policy advisor, will join Foreign Policy’s editor in chief, Ravi Agrawal, for a wide-ranging interview analyzing U.S. foreign policy.
