Biden has nominated his closest close friend Tony Blingen as the first Secretary of State.
In addition, with the Secretary of State, the White House National Security Adviser, a two-top diplomatic and security field, also selected the closest close friend, former Vice President Jake Sullivan, as National Security Adviser.
At the remorse of Biden, who began working as a staff since 2002 when Biden was chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee in 2002, Blincoln's nominee for the Secretary of State regained the United States over the Paris Climate Treaty, the World Health Organization WHO, and the Iranian nuclear agreement. It seems to be playing a role in bringing back.
As Blincoln has criticized Trump's foreign policy for further weakening the United States, the Biden administration is expected to put forward the principle of abolishing Trump's US priority and restoring damaged alliances to restore international leadership.
[Tony Blincoln/Appointed Secretary of State: Unfortunately, the foreign policy that President Trump pursued did not strengthen the United States, but rather weakened it.
This is especially true in Asia.]
Blincoln is classified as a hard-liner when it comes to North Korea, and there is a high possibility that he will pressure North Korea with economic sanctions in the future.
In addition, John Carrey, former State Secretary of State who signed the Paris Climate Agreement at the time of the Obama administration, was selected as an envoy for climate change, and Linda Thomas Greenfield, a veteran black woman diplomat with 35 years experience, was selected as the UN ambassador.
