Washington, May 13 (RHC)-- A group of over 50 U.S. organizations sent a letter to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, urging him to adopt a foreign policy that prioritizes diplomacy and multilateralism over militarism.  The letter was also sent to President Donald Trump. 

The effort was organized by Demand Progress, and backers include Greenpeace USA, Our Revolution, Muslim Public Affairs Council and the National Iranian American Council Action. 

The group is demanding Biden commit to a number of progressive foreign policy positions, including reducing the military budget; diplomatic engagement with Iran and North Korea; opposing undemocratic regime change; supporting Palestinian rights; and protecting the War Powers Act, which requires lawmakers to authorize military action.

Joe Biden said last month that as president he would engage with Cuba, but that U.S. sanctions over its support for the government of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela could remain in place. 

Joe Biden also recently expressed support for Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó and his “efforts to restore democracy.”
