After President Joe Biden relinquished his presidency nomination for the 2024 US election, the Democratic party will undergo a process to elect its new nominee for the upcoming election.
As Biden announced stepping back amid Democrats’ pressure, the leaders from around the world shared their thoughts and some even showered their praise on the decision.
Here are the reaction from foreign leaders:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
“Ukraine is grateful to President Biden for his unwavering support for Ukraine’s fight for freedom, which, along with strong bipartisan support in the United States, has been and continues to be critical. Many strong decisions have been made in recent years and they will be remembered as bold steps taken by President Biden in response to challenging times. And we respect today’s tough but strong decision. We will always be thankful for President Biden’s leadership.”
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu
“I will tell my friends on both sides of the aisle (in the US Congress) that regardless who the American people choose as their next president, Israel remains America’s indispensable and strong ally in the Middle East.
“In this time of war and World News of uncertainty it’s important that Israel’s enemies know that America and Israel stand together today, tomorrow and always,” he said, speaking as he left on a visit to Washington.
“I plan to see President Biden, whom I’ve known for over 40 years. This will be an opportunity to thank him for the things he did for Israel in the war and during his long and distinguished career in public service, as Senator, as Vice President, and as President.”
New Zealand PM Christopher Luxon
“President Biden has dedicated his life to public service, and that is something that deserves much respect. I thank the President for his leadership of the United States and his commitment to New Zealand. And I look forward to working with him for the remainder of his presidency.”
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro
“I think he made the most sensible and correct decision,” he said during a campaign event. “He prioritised his family and his health. He realised that at that age and with weakened health he could not assume the reins of his country, let alone a presidential candidacy.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
“I’ve known President Biden for years. He’s a great man, and everything he does is guided by his love for his country. As President, he is a partner to Canadians — and a true friend. To President Biden and the First Lady: thank you.”
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
“Joe Biden has achieved a great deal: for his country, for Europe, for the world,”
“Thanks to him, transatlantic cooperation is close, NATO is strong and the USA is a good and reliable partner for us. His decision not to run again deserves recognition.”
British PM Keir Starmer
“I respect President Biden’s decision and I look forward to us working together during the remainder of his presidency,” Starmer said in a statement.
“I know that, as he has done throughout his remarkable career, President Biden will have made his decision based on what he believes is in the best interests of the American people.”
Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez
“All my admiration and recognition for the brave and dignified decision of the president @JoeBiden. Thanks to its determination and leadership, the US overcame the economic crisis after the pandemic and the serious assault on the Capitol and has been exemplary in its support for Ukraine in the face of Putin’s Russian aggression. A great gesture from a great president who has always fought for democracy and freedom.”
Irish PM Simon Harris
“On behalf of the people and government of Ireland. I would like to thank you Mr President for your global leadership and your friendship as you make your announcement that you will not stand in the 2024 US Presidential election,” Harris said in a statement.
“Joe Biden, in all the offices he has held, has always been an unwavering voice and passionate worker for peace on the island of Ireland and our country owes him a great debt for this.”
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov
“The elections are still four months away, and that is a long period of time in which a lot can change. We need to be patient and carefully monitor what happens. The priority for us is the special military operation,” Peskov said, referring to the war in Ukraine.
Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Stoere
“I respect President Joe Biden’s decision not to run for re-election. He justifies the decision by saying that he wants to put the country before himself. That reasoning commands respect,” Stoere told Reuters.
“Joe Biden has been one of America’s most prominent politicians over several decades, and a president who has carried out several important reforms. I particularly commend him for his leadership in NATO and look forward to working with Biden as the president of the United States until the end of January.”
Polish PM Donald Tusk
“Mr. President @JoeBiden, many times you have made difficult decisions that have made Poland, America, and the world safer, and democracy and freedom stronger. I know that you were guided by the same principles when announcing your latest decision. Perhaps the most difficult one in your life.”
