Issued on:
Too old, too out of touch, gaffe-prone – the president of the United States has his critics. But has Russia’s invasion of Ukraine put 80-year old Joe Biden back in the saddle?
The veteran Cold warrior sat down with the new king of England on Monday, before flying to the NATO summit where Washington’s all-in attitude has been crucial for Kyiv, to put the US might back at the heart of Europe’s defense strategy.

In today’s debate we ask about tea at the palace and the tools at Biden’s disposal to broker deals to ramp up the alliance, this as Turkey’s president bargains over Sweden’s bid to join NATO.
We argue why Washington’s role is key, and how Biden plays his hand between the language of deterrence against a nuclear-armed Russia, the tempering of calls to supply fighter jets for Ukraine, and the approval Kyiv’s bid to join the alliance.
