Leaders of Australia, India, Japan and the United States will announce plans for new security initiatives in the Indian Ocean on Saturday, when outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden hosts counterparts from the Quad grouping established due to shared concerns about China.
Biden will welcome Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for a four-way meeting near his hometown of Wilmington to stress the importance of maintaining the Quad, which he sees as a signature foreign policy achievement, before he leaves office after the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election.

All I can say is I hope whomever replaces Biden will keep this going.

Basically this will be his personal crown achievements. He also had some wins for taking on China.

Unfortunately, his legacy will be your border, global wars, the I.R.A and economic strife.

It didn't have to be this way, he had a layup coming into office.

do you have any comment on the actual topic of the thread or is your BDS too strong today for that?

I dont have BDS, I supported Biden. I'm not going lie though.

I said it was his crowning achievement, he did better than I thought in dealing with China and he, or someone in his administration, developed a plan that rounded up others in the region that need to pull their weight on the China military issue.

This unfortunately is overshadowed immensely by the long term damage to the U.S economy and trust of politicians due to an open border and inflation. No one should overlook this as WWIII is around the corner. The aforementioned issues have hurt Americas ability to deal with such a war.

To be honest he's a politician. There's a big difference between politicians and leaders. This policy and the military relationship is an important one though.

you know, people like you have been saying that since the 50s.

Quit living in fear, it is not healthy for you.

Lol. As though Japan gives much of a fuck about what happens in the Indian Ocean.

The US will continue to try to constrain China, then be surprised when it finds out...

I don't think that will be a problem seeing Trump was instrumental in the process.

By 2017, with the rise of China and Beijing’s assertive military behavior in the East and South China Seas, as well as along the border with India, a returned Abe resurrected the idea of the Quad. Abe had begun advocating for a democratic security diamond to preserve the “common good” in the Indo-Pacific as early as 2012.

At the same time, growing bilateral and mini-lateral engagement in the diplomatic and security realms between the four countries gave rise to further institutionalized engagement.

In 2017, Japan invited Australia, India, and the United States to hold a joint working meeting in the margins of the ASEAN Summit. The first Quad meeting at the ministerial level took place two years later, with the four foreign ministers gathering at the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in 2019. The foreign ministers have met annually since then.

The four countries’ views on what the Quad should do, and how it should be presented publicly, did not always align in the early years. In particular, the Trump administration explicitly and often aggressively framed the Quad as a mechanism for collective opposition to China. Other members of the group declined to use such terminology, a position that has held to this day.

A major turning point for the Quad came during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020 and 2021, India and China engaged in border skirmishes in the Galwan Valley, leading to fatalities on both sides. These incidents firmly turned India towards the Quad, paving the way for the first in-person meeting at the leaders’ level in September 2021, hosted by U.S. President Joe Biden, following a virtual meeting six months earlier.

Nothing in your post shows that Trump was instrumental in its development, seems it was Abe that pushed for it and did all the leg work.

As for why, it is now SOP in our country for a new Admin from a different party to try and erase all the former one did, whether it was good or not

So they ALSO met in 2020.

What are you NOT understanding?? That there were FOUR Countries of which the US was one were involved in its formation? It goes back even further to 2004....when Bush was President.

Get a grip!!

Yes, Japan invited the US, not the other way around. How does that make Trump "instrumental" in the creation of the Quad?
