Vice President Harris and President Macron agreed on the need for close bilateral and multilateral cooperation to address COVID-19, climate change, and support democracy at home and around the world. They also discussed numerous regional challenges, including those in the Middle East and Africa, and the need to confront them together. The Vice President thanked President Macron for his leadership on the issue of gender equality and for France\u2019s contribution to NASA\u2019s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>President Joe Biden previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/01\/24\/readout-of-president-joseph-r-biden-jr-call-with-president-emmanuel-macron-of-france\/\">spoke<\/a> with President Macron on January 24, in which they discussed \u201cbilateral ties,\u201d Biden\u2019s \u201ccommitment to bolstering the transatlantic relationship, including through NATO and the United States\u2019 partnership with the European Union,\u201d and the \u201cneed for close coordination, including through multilateral organizations, in tackling common challenges such as climate change, COVID-19, and the global economic recovery.\u201d In addition, they \u201cagreed to work together on shared foreign policy priorities, including China, the Middle East, Russia, and the Sahel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On January 21, Vice President Harris <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/01\/21\/readout-of-vice-president-harriss-call-with-world-health-organization-director-general-dr-tedros-adhanom-ghebreyesus\/\">spoke<\/a> with the Director-General of the World Health Organization Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on January 21.

During his time as Vice President, Pence spoke with Justin Trudeau in 2019 and with the Argentinian and Australian presidents in 2017. He spoke with Colombia\u2019s president in 2018 and 2019, with Iraq\u2019s prime minister in 2018 and with Ukraine\u2019s president in 2019.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/02\/16\/biden-has-still-not-spoken-with-israeli-pm-netanyahu\/\">confirmed<\/a> that Biden had still not called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHis first call with a leader in the region will be with Prime Minister Netanyahu. It will be soon. I don\u2019t have an exact date for you but it is soon. Stay tuned,\u201d Psaki said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIsrael is of course an ally. Israel is a country where we have an important strategic security relationship and our team is fully engaged, not at the head of state level quite yet, but very soon, but our team is fully engaged and having constant conservations at many levels with the Israelis,\u201d she added, with speculation swirling around Biden\u2019s decision not to contact one of the United States\u2019 closest allies after almost one month in office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The combination of Kamala Harris \u2014 a deeply unpopular candidate during the primaries whose radicalism is being actively masked by a suddenly-adoring legacy media \u2014 and Joe Biden \u2014 whose entire career has been a string of foreign policy failures \u2014 should worry conservatives and moderates alike as the Biden\/Harris (or should I say Harris\/Biden) administration fleshes out their global agenda, which seems to involve handing the reins to Kamala Harris far earlier than anyone could have predicted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/yemen-lgbt-refugees-and-white-supremacy-everything-you-need-to-know-about-bidens-first-foreign-policy-speech\">Yemen, LGBT Refugees, And White Supremacy: Everything You Need To Know About Biden\u2019s First Foreign Policy&nbsp;Speech<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
