5. Trying to Lift the FTO Designation on the IRGC (March 21, 2022): The Biden Administration almost delisted the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a Foreign Terrorist Organization during talks to revive the JCPOA. The move would have been an extraordinary and unprecedented measure given that the Guard has killed hundreds of Americans while the Quds Force supports terrorist proxy forces throughout the region. However, after a bipartisan super-majority of Senators expressed firm opposition to the measure via a Motion to Instruct offered by Sen. James Lankford, the White House backed off the plan.
6. Biden Grovels for Saudi Oil Production–And Fails (July 15, 2022): After pledging to turn Saudi Arabia into a “pariah” on the campaign trail, President Biden sparked a global backlash by fist-bumping Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who approved the 2018 assassination of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The awkward attempt to mend relations with Riyadh came as the White House was desperate for KSA’s help in addressing surging oil prices before the midterms but refused to unleash domestic production and America’s hundreds of barrels of untapped oil.
7. White House Discourages Pelosi from Visiting Taiwan (August 3, 2022): After Xi Jinping told President Biden not to allow Pelosi to travel to Taipei and that “those who play with fire will perish by it,” the White House discouraged her from visiting the island to avoid “provoking” the CCP. To her credit, Speaker Pelosi moved forward with the trip and reaffirmed “America’s unshakeable commitment to our allies and friends in the region.” The Biden Administration meddling in the CODEL was a further signal of its sensitivity to Beijing’s rhetorical resolve.
8. Muddling U.S. Policy on Taiwan (September 19, 2022): Now for the fourth time in just over a year, President Biden publicly asserts that American forces would defend Taipei against a PLA invasion–a clear departure from strategic ambiguity. The statement is once again walked back by White House officials, who insist there is no change in U.S. policy. The comment renews public confusion about the Biden Administration’s stance.
9. Engaging in Public Hand-Wringing on Nuclear War (October 6, 2022): President Biden backtracked on comments he made on days earlier warning we faced the “prospect of Armageddon” for the first time since the Cuban missile crisis. After publicly airing his fears of nuclear war, he told Democratic donors, “I don’t think [Putin] will” use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. The comments, offered at a private event, surprised even his own senior advisors who did not anticipate him offering his stream of consciousness on nuclear war at a partisan fundraiser. The comments earned major blowback for giving indications of how Moscow’s nuclear saber-rattling was influencing the American calculus in Ukraine.
10. Biden National Security Strategy Misses the Mark (October 12, 2022): Almost two 
11. years after entering office, the Biden Administration finally released its NSS, receiving considerable pushback for its extensive focus on amorphous global challenges like climate change and COVID-19 rather than concrete security threats like Iran’s nuclear program. Most disturbingly, the strategy’s publication was delayed after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine–an indication that Moscow was not identified as a major U.S. threat in the original draft, an indictment of its lack of foresight. Furthermore, the rhetoric of the NSS does not align with the funding needs of the U.S. defense apparatus.
12. Treasury Lifts Venezuela Sanctions on Oil Giant (November 26, 2022): After Saudi and Emirati leaders refused to answer President Biden’s calls, the Biden Administration turned to Plan B: lifting U.S. sanctions and allowing Chevron to expand Venezuelan oil production and exports. The move followed Maduro’s agreement to restart Mexico City talks with then-opposition leader Juan Guaidó but is clearly designed to ease U.S. gas prices, a political burden for the White House.
13. Biden Prematurely Claims Victory Over Russian Economy (December 31, 2022): In Warsaw, President Biden claimed earlier that year that U.S. sanctions reduced the ruble “to rubble” and that Russia’s economy would be cut in half within years. However, the ruble’s price against the dollar has rallied close to pre-invasion levels, and the Russian economy only shrunk by 2.2 percent in 2022 and IMF predictions suggest future growth. The dissonance between his declarations and the trendlines underscore the consequences of the Biden Administration’s refusal to enact thousands of sanctions on Russian exports and banks, crack down on sanctions evasion, and allowance of Russia to earn billions in oil and gas revenue through 2022.
14. Allowing China’s Spy Balloon to Traverse America (January 28 - February 4, 2023): For a full week, President Biden allowed a high-altitude CCP surveillance balloon to fly across the entire continental United States, letting Beijing violate our airspace with impunity and gather intelligence on our military bases–a move even rebuked by Democrats in Congress. The White House first denied the balloon’s existence before ensuring it had enough time to reach the eastern coastline. As if attempting to provide cover for the CCP, President Biden later reflected that the balloon was “more embarrassing than it was intentional.” Sec. Blinken has stated that the “chapter should be closed” as long as it doesn’t happen again.
15. Blinken Tells Staff to Back Down on China Measures (February 6, 2023): According to State Department officials, Sec. Blinken directed his team to back down on issuing human rights-related sanctions, exports controls, and other actions in response to China’s spy balloon incursion–rather than hold Beijing to account–to de-escalate tensions with the CCP.
16. White House Proposes 3% Real Cut to Military Funding (March 9, 2023): In its FY24 budget request, the Biden Administration called for a defense spending “increase” that did not even adjust for year-on-year inflation and pay raises, which would put U.S. military spending at its lowest level since the Second World War as a share of the economy and cut the Pentagon’s buying power. The PBR’s paltry $9.1 billion request for the DOD Pacific Deterrence Initiative also ignored the assessment of the combatant command in charge of the Indo-Pacific region, which indicated $15.4 billion was needed in FY24 to address the threat of China.
17. Biden “Brit-Bashes” London After Belfast Visit (May 10, 2023): After visiting Northern Ireland to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, President Biden remarked at a Democratic Party fundraiser in New York that he visited Northern Ireland “to make sure the Brits didn’t screw around.” The blunt remarks drew fire from Democratic Unionists in Northern Ireland and officials in London.  (But Biden made no remarks about human rights on anniversary of Tinnamin Square.)
18. White House Denies Chinese Spy Base Report (June 8, 2023): After The Wall Street Journal reported that Beijing has installed a spy base just miles off the coast of Florida in neighboring Cuba, NSC Spokesman John Kirby described the story as “inaccurate.” Two days later, the White House admitted the story’s veracity; one Biden official even stated the threat has been addressed through “diplomacy” and the PRC has been “slowed down.”
19. Biden Administration Greenlights Chinese Cigarettes (June 10, 2023): The FDA allowed Chinese-manufactured illegal e-cigarettes to remain on the market and easily accessible in American liquor and convenience stores despite China’s continuous manufacturing of fentanyl precursor chemicals and its smuggling across the Southern Border. In 2022 alone, DEA seized more than 58 million fentanyl-laced pills and 13,000 pounds of fentanyl powder,” more than enough to kill everyone in the United States and most of it manufactured in China
20. Sec. Blinken Visits China (June 18, 2023): On the heels of the espionage balloon incident, revelations of a CCP spy base in Cuba, and reports that PLA hackers were hiding malicious computer code inside U.S. military base networks, Sec. Blinken spent eleven hours in talks with Beijing officials. The trip did not lead to accountability for China’s export of fentanyl precursor chemicals, a resumption of military-to-military dialogue, or commitments to address China’s economic coercion, IP theft, and other destabilizing trade activities. The Biden Administration may even have declined to release the results of the FBI’s probe on the Chinese military-surveillance balloon to secure a meeting.
21. Beijing Gaslights Blinken on Fentanyl Cooperation (June 19, 2023): After Sec. Blinken left China, he told reports the two countries agreed to set up “a working group or joint effort” to combat fentanyl trafficking. But just days after the visit, China lashed out at America for its “chronic problem of drug abuse” and made clear it had no intention of cooperating with the State Department in the near future.
22. Top Iran Negotiator Investigated by FBI (June 29, 2023): Rob Malley, President Biden’s former special envoy to Iran, was placed on unpaid leave for allegedly mishandling classified materials and divulging national secrets to foreign nationals–matters under FBI investigation. Malley’s past statements that Hamas must be understood as a “charity organization and social branch”–which have recently resurfaced have also raised alarm. Meanwhile, the Blinken State Department continues to prevaricate about the incident when confronted by lawmakers.
23. State Department Refuses to Blame China for Clear Hack (July 20, 2023): A cyber-espionage attack successfully accessed the email accounts of Commerce Sec. Gina Raimondo, U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Burns, and senior Biden Administration officials working on East Asian and Pacific affairs such as Daniel Kritenbrink. Weeks later, it was revealed that the Chinese hackers stole 60,000 State Department emails, which may have contained significant sensitive information. But the Biden Administration refused to formally blame China for the hack despite Microsoft’s assessment linking it to a Chinese hacking group.
24. Paying Ransom to Tehran (September 11, 2023): The Biden Administration gave the Iranian regime a massive $6 billion windfall by releasing frozen assets in exchange for the release of five Americans. The move–done in direct violation of the United States’ longstanding no-concessions policy–was made just weeks before Hamas’s brutal invasion of Israel and months before the IRGC launched 350 missiles and drones at Israel. Despite assurances the funds would only be expended for “humanitarian purposes,” they are clearly being used to benefit Iran’s terrorist proxies, proliferation program, and the Russian military machine killing Ukrainians every day.
25. Jake Sullivan Touts “Quieter” Middle East Before Oct. 7 (September 29, 2023): Just days before Hamas’ brutal October 7 attack on Israel, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan boasted the Middle East “is quieter today than it has been in two decades.” The statement revealed a spectacular lack of foresight into how the Biden Administration’s funding of Palestinian terror and Iranian proxies would set the conditions for a disastrous conflict and underscored how out of touch President Biden’s national security team is with events on the ground. In 2024, the region has been at its most dangerous since at least 1973.
26. Creating Conditions for Hamas’ Unprecedented Attack (October 7, 2023): After providing Tehran with billions in sanctions relief, chasing an elusive JCPOA return for two and half years, and refusing to forcefully defend U.S. troops against dozens of attacks by Iranian proxies, Hamas–another Iranian proxy–killed more than 30 Americans during the October 7 terrorist attacks. Five are still being held as hostages in Gaza. These acts of appeasement helped set the conditions for the war’s outbreak and undermined deterrence.
27. Allowing Iran to Attack U.S. Forces with Impunity (October 17, 2023): Despite Iran’s partners in terror carrying out over 170 attacks on U.S. military bases and assets in Syria, Iraq, and Jordan in response to U.S. support for Israel against Hamas, President Biden has only responded with four true retaliatory counterattacks. This permissive approach has emboldened attacks on our service members in the region.
28. Lifting Sanctions on Maduro’s Venezuela (October 18, 2023): Squandering financial leverage, Biden’s Treasury Department eased oil, gas, and gold sanctions against Caracas and issued a general license authorizing U.S. companies to engage in the government-controlled energy sector. Predictably, Maduro responded by breaking promises on democratic progress and barring opposition candidates for July’s sham election.

1. Biden Administration Bans LNG Exports (January 26, 2024): In a transparently political effort to win over progressive environmentalists, the White House announces a ban on the export of liquified natural gas–a move it frames as advancing the renewable energy transition and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the move undercuts Western allies seeking to reduce their reliance on Russian gas by cutting stable U.S. supply.
2. Biden’s FY2025 Budget Cuts Defense Budget–Again (March 11, 2024): President Biden’s requested military budget for this fiscal year proposed a real 10 percent cut from the level authorized by Congress in FY2024 once adjusting for inflation. The move to cut the Pentagon’s buying power reflects wishful thinking that America can keep pace with evolving threats without giving our defense apparatus the funding to do so
3. Cutting Off Precision Munitions to Israel (May 9, 2024): The Biden Administration announced it would halt shipments of bombs and artillery shells to Israel if the IDF moved into Rafah to eliminate Hamas and achieve military objectives. The decision–predicated on concerns the operation would lead to major civilian casualties–ironically increased the odds civilians would be killed by cutting off the supply of precision munitions, which provide greater accuracy. These restrictions undercut Israel’s ability to defend itself and marked an unprecedented betrayal of a close ally.
4. Trying to Release GTMO Detainees Before Hamas Attack (May 20, 2024): News surfaces that the Biden Administration attempted to release 11 GTMO detainees from U.S. custody to the Middle East prior to the Oct. 7 attack, but abruptly halted the move due to political optics. The move defied Pentagon and ODNI data pointing to risks of recidivism: Almost a fifth of current or former detainees re-engaged in terrorism after transfer or release.

1. Biden Administration Presses Europe Not to Rebuke Iran (May 27, 2024): Despite Tehran’s advances in its nuclear program and expanded stockpile of near-weapons-grade fissile material to a record level, the Biden Administration reportedly urged Britain and France to avoid censuring Iran at the IAEA member-state board. European diplomats warned that approach would undercut the IAEA’s authority and weaken the credibility of Western pressure on Iran.
2. Building the Gaza Floating Pier (May 28, 2024): During his State of the Union address, President Biden announced the initiative to build a facility offshore of the Gaza Strip for delivering humanitarian aid via maritime cargo. However, the pier promptly collapsed after heavy seas and the operation received criticism as a PR stunt that cost $320 million. The project also ignored the advice of many military experts who indicated that such piers were not designed to operate in turbulent weather as well as concerns that humanitarian aid shipments would not reach Palestinians and be diverted by Hamas.
