AS SOON AS Joe Biden takes over as president in January there will be a new tone in America’s foreign policy, and this week he is revealing the new team that will help set it. Its top trio, to be formally announced on November 24th, say a lot about the contrast he wishes to establish with the tumultuous President Donald Trump. His picks are predictable, solid and wedded to a belief in the rules-based international order.
For his national security adviser Mr Biden is said to have opted for another member of his inner circle, Jake Sullivan. Although, at 43, he will be the youngest person in that role since McGeorge Bundy in the 1960s, he too has a wealth of experience, having also served as Mr Biden’s national security adviser and as Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff when she was secretary of state. He is also strikingly clever.
What to expect from the new team? No fireworks, for sure. Mr Biden has gone for steadiness and dependability, not high-profile public figures. Mr Blinken is not entirely conventional: he plays with a band, he went to high-school in France, his step-father was a Holocaust survivor and he has a young family. But he is viewed as a centrist who goes down well with people on both right and left.
Mr Blinken also thinks it has been a big mistake for America to pull back from its leadership role in international institutions in the way that Mr Trump has done: “that simply creates a vacuum,” he says. At the UN Ms Thomas-Greenfield’s job will be to show the world that America is back. That will come naturally to her.
Harris will have Biden pushed out of office soon enough. Harris and Pelosi will run America as they had planned all along. It's called corruption.
Lets make China great again！
Biden supported the UK in 1982 against Argentina. His foreign policy now is less clear, but ‘82 was not the first time the USA was involved in a Falklands dispute. Lexington Raid 1831 anyone? Or 👇 p.101
Good conclusion, is England still on that map?
But Biden said China was no competition for us?
Yes.keep talking I am listening.
Not only will he embrace them.... He may try to finger them!
Um. China has cornered the market on solar. Does that mean Blinken thinks America should at least try to be competitive? What about fast speed rail?
Pompeo was the very best ever!! This dude is an appeaser pansy- but I’m sure he sounds intelligent.
War Chief.
