Former Vice President Joe Biden, who declared victory in the U.S. presidential election, is in the process of selecting ministers for the transition to power and intends to appoint former Deputy Secretary of State Brinken as a key secretary of state for foreign affairs and security. Following the announcement, he announced that he would announce a candidate for Secretary of Defense soon on the 7th.
In response, major media outlets reported that Lloyd Austin, an Army-born commander of the Central Army that had jurisdiction over the Middle East until 2016 during the Obama administration, is expected to be appointed.
If Austin takes office, he will be the first black Secretary of Defense in American history.
When it came to the appointment of the Secretary of Defense, the prevailing view was that former Deputy Secretary of Defense Fronoy would be the first woman to be nominated, but within the Democratic Party, the members of the ministerial candidates announced so far reflect the racial composition of the United States.

Mr. Biden has repeatedly emphasized the importance of diversity in the selection of ministers, and it is believed that the appointment of Mr. Austin will also show consideration for black supporters.
