Antony Blinken promises lawmakers that the State Department will abandon President Trump's 'America First' foreign policy.

President-elect Joe Biden’s pick for secretary of State, Antony Blinken, told a Senate panel Tuesday that he plans to “revitalize American diplomacy” after four years of tumultuous foreign policy.

Blinken, a veteran diplomat and longtime senior advisor to Biden, is using his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to underline a sharp distinction between his agenda and style, and his predecessors Michael R. Pompeo and Rex Tillerson. The challenges awaiting Blinken, if confirmed, are extensive, including climate change, the rise of aggressive China and the Iranian nuclear threat. The Trump administration pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal and a broad trade agreement with much of Asia that would have served as a bulwark against China. For the environment, Biden has tapped former Secretary of State John Kerry as a kind of climate change czar.

Sad and pathetic - the top officials in the government leading the USA don’t even like the USA. They’d rather be cheerleaders for other nations.

yea, the american president putting america first is something that needs to be fixed.

Of course. These woke clowns could give two-shits about you or your country. Just endless profits for their globalist puppet masters.

That's why we elected him.

This is a great idea. Let's put our own country last. 🤦‍♀️

Poor 🇺🇸...

Finally, a PRESIDENTIAL PRESIDENT, true leadership with passion, style, class, and REAL EMPATHY is ahead with a plan, a vision, direction,compassion, a heart and conviction. An HONEST LEADER! Trump failed to destroy democracy and the country, decency prevailed, only peace ahead.

Oh, dear. Good luck, America.

Some Trump idiot is going to say, 'what, you're policy is now AmericaLast?' Given this tag exists, they probably already did.

Biden says 'America Is Back,' but 'America First' has haunted his first 100 daysPresident Joe Biden's message to the world has been loud and clear: Donald Trump's 'America First' isolationism is over. But the specter of Trump is already haunting Biden's mission to reengage with the world and lead it once again. angeladewan lukemcgee Biden has been in the limelight of public service all of his life. He's made a career out of being a Washington politician. POTUS Biden's bringing about systemic & transformative change. He came into public life as a Senator. & now he's going out w/ a bang. Done & seen it all! angeladewan lukemcgee Biden is spending like a drunken sailor. The vast majority of his new spending is payoffs to Big Bold donors & connected insiders. It's hard to believe, but Biden is worse than Trump. angeladewan lukemcgee Joe is killing it, he’s progressive, he’s got a plan, he listens and gets it, massive empathy. That’s my opinion from Australia, but he’s put American values back on the world stage, he’s leading, unlike the last 4 years of divisive politics and chaos
