During the press gaggle on Air-Force One, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan previewed the theme of President Biden’s remarks for Friday:
Then, on Friday, he will return to Normandy to speak at Pointe du Hoc, which is a hundred-foot-tall cliff that Army Rangers scaled under gunfire to take fortified German positions. And he’ll talk about the stakes of that moment, an existential fight between a dictatorship and freedom. He’ll talk about the men who scaled those cliffs and how they put themselves behind — they put the country ahead of themselves. And he’ll talk about the dangers of isolationism and how if we bow to dictators and fail to stand up to them, they keep going and ultimately America and the world pays a greater price.
