Less than a week after the start of his presidential term, US President Joe Biden faces a foreign policy crisis, which is the military coup in Myanmar, which may put the administration in a position opposing China, which Washington considers its opponent and competitor.

Politico magazine says that how Biden and his aides will respond, whether quickly and in coordination with allies or with a show of American power, will affect how the US administration is perceived on the world stage in the coming months, especially as it confronts the broader challenge of the rise of the authoritarian movement in many countries. around the world.

The magazine noted that the situation also provides a rare opportunity for a bipartisan approach in Washington, given the interests of Democratic and Republican lawmakers in Congress, many of whom have expressed a desire to impose severe sanctions and other measures against the military leadership in Myanmar.

Officials familiar with the internal deliberations of the Biden administration revealed to Poltico that US officials are frustrated with the developments, especially because of their timing, and are quick to find out how to coordinate and respond internally and internationally, and whether they will describe what is happening as a coup. One of the officials described the scene as chaotic.

However, a spokeswoman for the US National Security Council denied this description, and said that the Biden administration's response was clear, consistent and strong. The spokeswoman, Emily Horn, indicated that the administration issued three separate statements, including one from Biden himself.

Biden said in his statement that the United States will notice those standing next to the people of Burma in this difficult hour. In response to a question at a press conference whether this is a message to China, White House spokeswoman Gene Saki said it is a message to all countries in the region and countries that will be asked to respond or think about how to respond appropriately in response to the events that occurred during the past two days.
