On Tuesday he wants to present his first candidates for ministerial positions. Several US media assume that the president-elect wants to appoint 58-year-old Anthony Blinken as foreign minister.
Blinken has been advising Biden on foreign policy issues for a long time. From 2009 to 2013, he was Biden’s national security adviser when he was Vice President Barack Obama. Blinken began his career at the State Department during the Bill Clinton administration.
Biden will be sworn in as the new president on January 20. Although the US media declared him the winner of the presidential election on November 3, Republican President Donald Trump refuses to admit defeat.
Biden wants to realign his country’s foreign policy: he promised to cement relations with allies around the world and lead the United States back to international agreements. For example, it has announced a return to the Paris climate protection agreement. Unlike Trump, he also wants to continue working with the World Health Organization (WHO).
It can be assumed that Biden will first announce the appointment of one or more of the major departments. These include the departments of finance, foreign affairs, defense, justice, and national security. Black woman Linda Thomas-Greenfield may be appointed ambassador to the UN.
Candidates for ministerial posts have yet to be approved by the Senate. Republicans currently have a small majority there. Majority indices could change due to two runoff elections in the state of Georgia in early January.
Biden was named the winner of the November 3 presidential election by the US media, but Republican President Trump refuses to admit defeat.
