BBC reporter Barbara Plett-Usher described Biden’s cabinet candidate as reflecting his desire to leave a “sense of stability and familiarity” with the outside world. After the “turbulent period” of 2015, the United States will play a “traditional role” on the international stage.

Among them, Brinken, who was nominated as Secretary of State, has attached importance to the relationship between the United States and its allies for many years, and will lead the United States to rebuild its relationship with international allies and organizations. Blincoln has served as Biden’s diplomatic adviser for many years. Biden’s previous diplomatic work is shadowed by Blincoln.
Kerry is another familiar face, too. Biden nominated him as special adviser on climate change, highlighting Biden’s view of this issue as a threat to national security.
