Vice President Joe Biden will deliver remarks at New York University  to defend President Barack Obama's national security record and seek to draw a sharp contrast with GOP hopeful Mitt Romney's foreign policy positions.
In his speech, the Vice President will describe how, under President Obama’s leadership, the nation has confronted challenges posed by terrorists and improved alliances with countries overseas.
According to a White House statement, Mr. Biden will also "contrast the Administration’s record with the empty rhetoric of Governor Mitt Romney, who continues to distort and mischaracterize the President’s accomplishments on foreign policy and national security without offering policy alternatives of his own."
While campaigning, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been critical of the administration's foreign policy record. He has accused the White House of drastically cutting the defense budget, questioned current sanctions on Iran and  criticized Pres. Obama's approach to the U.S. currency policy with China.
The event is the fifth in a series of remarks that the Vice President has delivered across the country on issues that will be at the core of the general election.
This event is sponsored by the NYU College Democrats.
