Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “a firm/steady hand on the tiller“ and its meaning is “complete control of a situation”.
Example Sentence: Yet at the same time, Joe Biden’s first foreign policy speech as president was more than a mere touch on the tiller. It signalled a significant change in the means the US will employ to achieve those objectives. Biden’s way is the diplomatic way, not the way of war, arms sales, punishment, tantrums, stunts and threats.
