U.S. election years are a

0:02

whirlwind. Now the United States is

0:04

being overrun by the Biden

0:08

migrant crime. I'm proud of my

0:10

administration taking on Big Pharma. We

0:12

will immediately tackle inflation. We

0:14

witness a full-on assault on

0:17

reproductive freedom. And

0:20

understand who is to blame. Former

0:23

President Donald Trump did this. Immigration,

0:26

health care, inflation, reproductive rights,

0:29

international diplomacy. All of these

0:31

issues are top of mind

0:34

for American voters this year, as

0:37

President Biden and former President Trump

0:39

campaigned for the White House. But the

0:41

stakes are just as high for American

0:43

allies and close partners around the world.

0:47

As Russia's military assault of Ukraine

0:49

is underway, we have breaking news

0:51

out of Israel this morning, where

0:54

Hamas has launched a surprise attack.

0:56

North Korea test-fired a long-range ballistic

0:58

missile with the potential to hit

1:00

the U.S. For people in Ukraine,

1:03

where the country's military is trying

1:05

to fight off Russia, the question

1:07

of who will win in the

1:10

U.S. election in November is an

1:12

existential one. We've taken three major

1:14

steps at the D7 that

1:17

collectively show Putin we cannot wait

1:19

us out, you cannot divide us,

1:21

and we'll be with Ukraine until they prevail in

1:23

this war. Or take

1:25

Israel, another country embroiled in war,

1:28

where people are watching closely to see who will

1:31

be the next occupant of the Oval Office. If

1:34

any Jewish person voted for Joe Biden,

1:36

they should be ashamed of themselves. He's

1:39

totally abandoned Israel. Or

1:42

take Asia, where U.S. allies and

1:44

partners wonder how the election in

1:46

November will impact their

1:48

economies and their national security. Consider

1:52

this. Whoever wins the 2024

1:55

presidential election could mean serious

1:57

changes for Americans. and

2:00

also for those around the world

2:02

who depend on U.S. support. After

2:04

the break, we'll hear from NPR

2:06

correspondents in Israel, Ukraine, and South

2:09

Korea about how their regions

2:11

are thinking about another four years

2:13

of Biden or Trump. From

2:20

Consider This from NPR. Polls

and NPR's own reporting tell

3:29

a story of many Americans

3:31

fatigued by our upcoming presidential

3:33

election, not satisfied with the

3:35

choice between two men who

3:38

have both already held the

3:40

office of president. But American

3:42

allies and partners are watching

3:44

the race intently. Take

3:46

South Korea, Japan, Ukraine,

3:49

Israel. The fates of those countries are

3:52

closely tied to whether Donald Trump or

3:54

Joe Biden ends up sitting in the

3:56

White House next year. So we have
