President Joe Biden and presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump will square off Thursday in the first of two debates this election season, with foreign policy set to take perhaps a more outsized part of their back-and-forth than such domestic issues as the economy and immigration.
Trump – who when president cast himself as a peacemaker, compared to Biden who arguably has a more interventionist approach to global affairs – is likely to press the incumbent commander-in-chief about the uptick in global tensions under his watch.
