President-elect Joe Biden said in his interview with New York Times that If Iran gets a nuclear bomb, it puts enormous pressure on the Saudis, Turkey, Egypt and others to get nuclear weapons themselves.

Biden added that "the last goddamn thing we need in that part of the world is a buildup of nuclear capability."

Biden stated to the interviewer that he was following the breaking news that Attorney General William Barr had just announced that the Justice Department had not found any possible fraud the might have affected the presidential elections.

The interviewer stated that Biden had a lot to say about the US-Chinese strategy and the American- Iranian nuclear deals that could be reformed if Iran wants so.

In response to the interviewer question about how he feels after winning the elections, Biden said that "I feel like I’ve done something good for the country by making sure that Donald Trump is not going to be president for four more years."

Biden stated his intentions to find a solution to the unemployment crisis in the US, stressing that Americans are facing hardships finding jobs and join the workforce, which will affect them negatively.

On foreign policy, Biden said that "if Iran returns to strict obedience with the nuclear deal, the US would rejoin the agreement as a starting point for follow-on negotiations,” and lift the sanctions on Iran that Trump imposed.

The elect- President also talked about China, saying that he doesn't intend to remove the 25 per cent tariffs that Trump imposed on about half of China’s exports to the United States.

"I’m not going to make any immediate moves, and the same applies to the tariffs," he said. "I’m not going to bias my options."

He clarified that a full review of the existing agreement with China should be conducted after consulting with the traditional allies in Asia and Europe before making any moves.

When bargaining with China, Biden concluded, it is all about “leverage,” and "in my view, we don’t have it yet."

Also, he talked about the rural side of America and how it was marginalized during Trump's era, stressing that they will not be left behind anymore and that they will have their representatives to deliver their voices.

He concluded by indicating the ugliness of the last four years, and his intentions to make up for all the crisis that Trump left during his ruling period.
