NEW YORK -- U.S. President Joe Biden will join hands with like-minded allies to form a "chorus of voices" that can push back against China in the great-power competition, new national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Friday.

Most crucial of those partners will be the Europeans, Sullivan said, as an aligned trans-Atlantic alliance will put America in a position of strength to fend off threats to its way of life -- the climate crisis, nuclear proliferation, cyberattacks, the continuing economic devastation around the world and more.
