President Joe Biden warned against the rise of isolationism in the US while visiting an American military cemetery in France that his predecessor, Donald Trump, famously skipped six years ago.
Biden said the World War I-era Aisne-Marne American Cemetery was the final resting place for soldiers who fought in the deadliest US Marine Corps battle until then, Biden said, and he could not fathom “the idea that I’d come to Normandy and not make the short trip here to pay tribute.”
