Reuters reported:
Canada and other U.S. allies are looking to President-elect Joe Biden to re-engage with the world on such issues as climate change and free trade, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a Reuters Next interview aired on Thursday.

U.S. re-engagement on the world stage would be a welcome reversal of the short-sighted and sometimes chaotic managed retreat from world affairs that had been pursued by President Donald Trump. That retreat had undermined mutually beneficial economic ties, undercut global efforts to address climate change, and increased instability in parts of the world that are already subject to instability and/or the implications of a shifting balance of power. Re-engagement itself will be just a first step. Much work will lie ahead in restoring credibility to American commitments and repairing the economic and geopolitical damage that resulted from the Trump Administration’s abandoning numerous agreements and its misguided efforts to impose higher security costs on allied nations, even as the security partnerships are beneficial to the United States and its allies alike.
