Biden campaign to limit contact with foreign governments

The Biden campaign is implementing strict rules about its staff communicating with officials from foreign governments, looking to avoid even the appearance of outside interference in the November election.

“Because of this poisonous environment created by the president, and so that there is no confusion as to whether or not we are inviting any assistance from foreign governments … our campaign has refrained from engaging in substantive conversations with foreign government officials, and would only do so under conditions that ensure transparency,” senior Biden campaign adviser Anthony Blinken told Politico.
