Senator John Thune (R-SD), the Senate minority whip and No. 2 GOP lawmaker in the chamber, has expressed his concerns over President Biden's handling of foreign policy, arguing that a series of missteps have weakened the United States' position on the global stage.
Thune's criticism comes as the Biden administration faces increasing scrutiny over its withdrawal from Afghanistan, its handling of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and its diplomatic efforts with China and Russia.

According to Thune, the administration's withdrawal from Afghanistan was "a disaster" that has emboldened America's adversaries and created a vacuum that has been filled by terrorist groups. He also criticized the administration's decision to lift sanctions on Iran, which he believes has given the regime more leverage in the ongoing nuclear negotiations.
Regarding Ukraine, Thune accused the Biden administration of being slow to provide military assistance to the country and argued that the failure to impose a no-fly zone has allowed Russia to continue its aggression. He also expressed concern over the administration's handling of relations with China, which he believes has been too conciliatory.

Thune's criticism is echoed by other Republicans, who have accused the Biden administration of being weak on foreign policy and of failing to stand up to America's adversaries. They argue that the administration's policies have weakened the country's alliances and emboldened its enemies.
The Biden administration has defended its foreign policy decisions, arguing that it is taking a more measured and diplomatic approach than the Trump administration. However, the administration's critics argue that its policies have been ineffective and have damaged America's standing in the world.

The debate over Biden's foreign policy is likely to continue as the United States faces a range of challenges on the global stage. It remains to be seen whether the administration will be able to navigate these challenges successfully or whether its policies will further weaken the country's position.
In the meantime, Thune and other Republicans are calling on the administration to take a more assertive approach to foreign policy and to prioritize the security and interests of the United States. They argue that the country cannot afford to be a passive bystander while its adversaries gain strength and threaten its vital interests.
