The president returned home from a week of international summits with momentum, but turning that into direct benefits for American workers is another matter.
After Biden's week-long trip to Europe, the questions remain: what's in it for Scranton, Pennsylvania? And what momentum can diplomatic success add to Biden's agenda in Congress?
White House and Biden administration officials say the president's first foreign trip was about establishing credibility with partners: laying the groundwork for plans on everything from trade to tax rates that will eventually deliver for America's middle class and its counterparts in other democracies.
