Former President Joe Biden has been out of the White House since January 2025, but he’s not out of the game. At a recent event, he shared a surprising claim: world leaders and U.S. lawmakers are still reaching out to him for advice.

The former president did raise the topic of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which provides collective defense to 32 countries from North America and Europe. Biden said during his presidency NATO had been “expanded” and “strengthened in a significant way” and that it was in “shambles” when he entered the White House.
