After four years of the Trump administration’s US First policy, President Joe Biden sent a clear message to other nations in his inauguration speech.

“The world is watching us, watching us today. So here is my message to those beyond our borders: America has been tested and we have come out stronger for it. We will repair our alliances and commit ourselves to the world once again. Not to meet the challenges of yesterday, but the challenges of today and tomorrow, ”said Biden.

“And we will lead, not just by the example of our power, but by the power of our example. We will be a strong and reliable partner for peace, progress and security. ”

Some Latin American leaders reacted after Biden was sworn in:

Chilean President Sebastián Piñera wrote:

Today @JoeBiden takes office as the 46th President of the United States. His administration will have the mission of healing the soul of the country and strengthening civic friendship. The commitment to democracy, freedom and human rights does not recognize borders. I wish President Biden the best. »

Former President of Colombia Álvaro Uribe also sent a message through Twitter:

The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, said before the inauguration that the coronavirus pandemic, economic recovery and migration will be key areas of the bilateral relationship with the United States. “Those three issues are very important: pandemic, economic recovery and migration,” he said. López Obrador also said that Biden should take steps to resolve the immigration status of Mexicans working in the United States.
