(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) President Joe Biden, who has publicly expressed deep animosity toward former President Donald Trump’s foreign policy, has now taken credit for establishing the Quad, a group first launched by the Trump administration in 2020.
“Look at the meeting we had here today and yesterday with, of the Quad,” Biden claimed during a Sunday speech at the G-7 Summit in Japan.
“I doubt many people in this audience would have said that two years after being elected, I’d be able to convince India, Australia, Japan, and the United States to form an organization called the Quad to maintain stability in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea,” he falsely touted.
The Quad, an informal group that brings together the countries, had laid dormant for several years but it was re-established by Trump in 2017, as reported by The Washington Post on May 17.
During his press conference this morning, Joe Biden insisted:
He formed the Quad. It was re-established in 2017 under President Trump.
He was able to “balance the budget.” He didn’t.
He doesn’t bear blame on the debt limit. He obstructed for over 100 days.

Despite the clear historical record and foreign policy awareness, Biden boldly claimed responsibility for the Quad during the G-7 Summit, which was captured by the Republican National Committee’s research team on Twitter.
Biden’s blatant lie was slammed by several conservative personalities on Twitter.
“Ummmm… Correction: Trump established the ‘Quad’ in 2017… Not Joe Biden,” said radio and TV host Grant Stinchfield on Sunday.
Echoing Stinchfield’s remarks, Townhall Managing Editor Spencer Brown torched Biden’s lies in a Sunday article, saying: “Why does President Biden seem to think the Quad was recently created by him? Does he not realize the Quad was created more than 15 years ago? And restarted in 2017?
Historian and conservative commentator Daniel F. Baranowski called Biden “AN INTERNATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT” on a fired-up tweet Sunday.
Why stop now? Biden has been lying his skinny ass off for 60 years. Why stop now?
The Press is so much in the bag that they never challenge the stupid things he says!
BIDEN IS AN INTERNATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT!
Impeach Biden Now!#ImpeachBiden https://t.co/3m3703VKQA— Daniel F. Baranowski (@DFBHarvard) May 21, 2023
Biden is expected to return to the U.S. on Sunday and will continue debt ceiling negotiations with House Republicans.
