Introduction
As Joe Biden became the 46th President of the United States, the country entered a new era of restoration both at home and abroad. U.S. foreign policy is not immune to this period of change. America’s re-joining of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Paris Climate Accord immediately after Biden’s inauguration as well as the reactions of top officials in the Biden administration to Alexei Navalny’s arrest in Russia are early testaments to the emerging characteristics of the new U.S. foreign policy under Biden. We argue in this paper that these characteristics will have a defining impact on the shape and nature of transatlantic relations as well as on U.S. relations with Turkey
