During a press conference in Hiroshima, Japan, on Sunday, Joe Biden, the evil corrupt, lying, demented fraud occupying the White House, took credit for re-establishing an alliance that former President Trump revived in 2017.
“I doubt many people…would’ve said that two years after being elected, I’d be able to convince India, Australia, Japan, and the United States to form an organization called the Quad,” Biden told those gathered.
SHOCK: Biden told the leaders of the G7 that he convinced Australia, Japan, and India to form an organization called the Quad. Prime Minister Kishida had to remind him that Trump actually put the organization together. Oops…pic.twitter.com/YUvnowdtU0

There’s only one problem. Biden, as always, is lying through his crooked lying lips.
An entry on Wikipedia explains:
The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QSD), commonly known as the Quad,[3][4] is a strategic security dialogue between Australia, India, Japan and the United States that is maintained by talks between member countries. The dialogue was initiated in 2007 by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, with the support of Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney.[5] The dialogue was paralleled by joint military exercises of an unprecedented scale, titled Exercise Malabar. The diplomatic and military arrangement was widely viewed as a response to increased Chinese economic and military power.
The Quad ceased following the withdrawal of Australia during Kevin Rudd‘s tenure as prime minister, reflecting ambivalence in Australian policy over the growing tension between the United States and China in the Asia-Pacific. Following Rudd’s replacement by Julia Gillard in 2010, enhanced military cooperation between the United States and Australia was resumed, leading to the placement of U.S. Marines near Darwin, Australia, overlooking the Timor Sea and Lombok Strait. Meanwhile, India, Japan, and the United States continued to hold joint naval exercises under Malabar.
During the 2017 ASEAN Summits in Manila, all four former members led by Abe, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and US President Donald Trump agreed to revive the quadrilateral alliance in order to counter China militarily and diplomatically in the “Indo-Pacific” region, particularly in the South China Sea. Tensions between Quad members and China have led to fears of what was dubbed by some commentators “a new Cold War” in the region,[6][7][8][9][10] and the Chinese government responded to the Quadrilateral dialogue by issuing formal diplomatic protests to its members, calling it “Asian NATO“;[11] Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar denies China’s allegations and claimed India never had ‘NATO mentality’.[12][13]
India, Japan, Australia and US came together for the first time in December 2004, as part of a tsunami relief working group.
Thereafter Shinzo Abe and Dick Cheney took the initiative forward, and the QUAD came about in 2007. Abe was the man who envisioned it.

COMMUNITY NOTES PRE-EMPT: Biden lied when he took credit for the Quad – formed under Trump. The Japanese PM knew because Japan is in BOTH the G7 and Quad. Democrats, embarrassed by his lie, are suggesting that Fumio didn't rib Biden about it. People who were there say he did.

Of course, he lied. Biden has been lying to the American people for nearly a half-century.

Sad, but true. And we were warned.
He’s been doing it for about half a century, and there’s no sign he’ll ever stop.
By the way, this is what you get when you install a lying demented corrupt fraud in the White House.
Mark Levin is right. This corrupt fraud and his entire crooked Regime needs to be removed by any legal means necessary.
