WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has met with other leaders of an Indo-Pacific alliance known as “the Quad” as he wraps up a week of diplomacy with both allies and adversaries. The White House meeting Friday with leaders from India, Japan and Australia gave Biden a chance to put the spotlight on a chief foreign policy goal: greater attention to the Pacific. Biden declared that the U.S. and other members of the alliance are showing they “know how to get things done” in an increasingly complicated corner of the globe. That’s in light of what the United States sees as China’s coercive economic practices and unsettling military maneuvering in the region.
