The US Vice President Kamala Harris arrived in Singapore with the aim of attracting the attention of his country’s allies in Southeast Asia.
US Vice President Kamala Harris has begun a trip to Southeast Asia with the aim of gaining the support of US allies in the region.
After arriving in Singapore, he assured that Washington would live up to its commitments to East Asian countries and counteract Chinese influence in the region.
But in the meantime, a new problem has arisen for Harris, and that is the fall of Afghanistan. The fall of the US-backed government has raised many questions about the validity of US foreign policy promises.
US allies complain that Biden has not been fully consulted with them on the decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan.
According to Reuters, with the rise of the Taliban after 20 years of Washington’s efforts to introduce Western-style democracy in Afghanistan, there is now concern among Asian and European countries as to whether Washington’s long-term security promises can really be relied on.
The countries in East Asia will certainly try to demand more concessions from the United States, and the recent events in Afghanistan will pave the way for them.
