Biden again gets credit for pushing Japan to increase defense spending, "I'm the person who set up NATO, the future — no one idea I could extend it," he said. "I'm the person who halted (Russian President Vladimir) Putin. No one idea it could work out. I'm the person who set up the South Pacific Drive with AUKUS. I'm the person who got 50 nations from — Europe, however outside — to help Ukraine. I'm the person who caused the Japanese to develop their financial plan."
