BANGKOK -- Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the U.S. on Jan. 20, amid the aftershocks of the Capitol riot fanned by his predecessor, Donald Trump.

Biden referred to foreign policy only near the end of his inaugural address, which focused on domestic issues such as democracy, racial discrimination and the gap between the rich and the poor. "We will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again," he said.
