It was his calming presence and his strategic clarity that helped lead the alliance to such an aggressive stance, which stymied authoritarianism on its front lines,&#8217; the book says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12498657\/The-man-came-dinner-Joe-Biden-SHOWS-vegetarian-meal-Modi-skipping-trio-suppers-world-leaders.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The man who came to dinner!
