/ world today news/ US President Joe Biden’s visit to Ireland this week comes at a time of significant decline in US authority, Gerald Baker points out in his April 13 article on “The Times” website.
US leadership in the world has recently suffered a number of blows. For example, French President Emmanuel Macron said that Europe should not be a mere “follower” of US policy towards China. Another example is that through the mediation of Beijing, Saudi Arabia and Iran agreed to restore diplomatic relations. It is a sign that Beijing and Riyadh despise US influence in Asia. The latest insult to the US is the series of leaks of classified information, which not only exposes Washington’s strategic chaos, incompetence and weaknesses, but also leads to a serious deterioration of the country’s relations with its key allies, such as Britain, Israel and South Korea, commented more Gerald Baker.
