"America is back," President Joe Biden proudly proclaimed in his April 28 Address to a Joint Session of Congress.

But, "You know what they say?" Biden continued, speaking of the "38-40" world leaders he had spoken to by then. "You know what they say? The comment I hear most of all from them? They say: 'We see America's back, but for how long? But for how long?'"
