As a former vice president and U.S. senator, Joe Biden is an experienced politician. He received over 29 medals and awards as V.P.—including two Purple Hearts. He was also one of the most decorated American politicians in history. Biden joined President Barack Obama's White House staff for two terms, serving as both secretary of state and vice president during Obama's presidency.

Biden said: "Our allies know that the only way we can confront this threat [of cyberattacks] is by working together. So I'll be meeting with my counterparts in Europe, Japan, and South Korea later this month to work on a strategy for how we can deny Iran any pathway to nuclear weapons."
