There is also growing interest in the formation of the cabinet of former Vice President Joe Biden, whose victory in the US presidential election became influential. Former Vice President Biden’s Assistants for Security and Foreign Affairs, former high-ranking officials in the Barack Obama administration, are considered to have a moderate and international worldview. Reporter Cho Eun-jung complies.
Former Vice President Joe Biden is considered one of the most experienced foreign policy politicians in American history.
Since his first election in 1972, he has served as a senator for 36 years, twice as chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, and as vice chairman for eight years.
Today, former Vice President Biden’s key aides in the field of foreign affairs and security are known for their decades of working with the chosen ones.
The New York Times reported on Biden’s diplomatic and security assistants: “In general, they have a traditional worldview with a moderate orientation, and most of them have held senior positions in the Obama administration.”
The political newspaper Politico also said last month: “The White House and the Biden administration cabinet will depend on the connections of the Obama administration.
Progressive Democrats recruited during the elections are also expected to be appointed to high-level positions.
However, the US media analyzes that Liberal Senators Elizabeth Warren and Congresswoman Karen Bass are not in the field of foreign affairs and security, respectively, as they are listed as finance ministers and health and welfare ministers.
Large-scale diplomatic and security assistants … key assistants reduced to senior officials
Michael Tierney, a professor of government and international relations at William and Mary University, said in a telephone conversation with the VOA on the 2nd that diplomatic and security officials in Biden’s electoral field “are generally internationalists and display multilateralism.”
[녹취: 티어니 교수] “People whose names are coming out as possible cabinet positions or national security advisers, these people are experts at what they do … In terms of domain knowledge, I think Biden’s team will be very strong.”Professor Tierney said: “The people who are about to be candidates for ministers or national security advisers are experts in their fields.”
“Biden’s election team is made up of well-known people in the Democratic Party administration,” said Professor Tierney. “It’s a large-scale organization with a large number of people from across the Democratic Party.”
Last July, diplomatic outlets ‘Forin Policy’ said they had obtained internal documents from the Democratic Party on the biden camp’s national security and diplomatic advisory working group. A total of 2,000 experts in 49 working groups, including disarmament, defense, intelligence and national security. He is reportedly submitting a report on diplomatic strategy to Camp Biden.
The media quoted officials within the camp as saying that although these groups are not official electoral organizations, they provide an opportunity to verify the talents that may be chosen for the Biden administration in the future.
The organization’s policy recommendations are directed at former Vice President Biden’s key aides, including Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Avril Haynes, Brian McEon and Julie Smith, Foreign Policy reported.
The New York Times also selected Blinken, Sullivan, Smith, John Kerry, and Thomas Doniel as individuals who could directly address former Vice President Biden in the field of foreign affairs and security.
Former Undersecretary of State Blinken, who served in the Obama administration, oversaw Biden’s electoral field security and foreign policy advisory, and is one of the most influential key figures.
Former Vice President Biden served as an Assistant to the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee from 2002 to 2008, from 2013 to 2015, in the Obama White House as an Assistant to the Department of Homeland Security, and from 2015 to 2017 as Assistant Secretary of State.
Former Undersecretary Blinken is seen as having a moderate propensity to inherit the existing foreign policy of the United States and a strong stance toward China.
In a talk hosted by the Hudson Institute in Washington in July, former Under Secretary Blinken said: “There is a bipartisan consensus that China is posing new challenges.”
[녹취: 블링큰 전 부장관] “There is a growing consensus among the parties that China poses a number of new challenges and that the status quo was really not sustainable, particularly in regards to China’s trade and economic practices, lack of reciprocity in relations or something. that he couldn’t hold. and it needed to be and continue to need to be treated. ““There is a consensus that China’s trade and economic practices and the lack of reciprocity in the US-China relationship in particular cannot be left as is,” said former Vice Minister Blinken. “We must continue to respond to this problem in the future.”
Former Undersecretary Blinken is expected to be named National Security Advisor or Secretary of State.
Other candidates for secretary of state include Senator Chris Koons and former national security adviser Susan Rice.
Jake Sullivan, who served as a security adviser in the Obama administration, is also seen as having great influence in the field of diplomacy.
He served as Assistant Secretary of State to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from 2009 to 2011, followed by Director of Policy at the State Department from 2011 to 2013, and is considered one of the key figures in the Obama administration’s nuclear negotiations with Iran.
In a talk with the Hudson Institute this year, he said: “The Democratic government should immediately resume nuclear diplomacy with Iran.”
[녹취: 설리번 전 부통령 안보보좌관] “My view would be that a Democratic Administration should immediately re-commit to nuclear diplomacy with Iran and seek to establish something similar to the JCPOA, but immediately begin the process of negotiating a follow-up agreement.”Former Security Advisor Vice President Sullivan said: “We need to reconsider an agreement similar to the JCPOA Comprehensive Joint Action Plan and also negotiate a follow-up agreement immediately.”
Former security adviser Sullivan is expected to be appointed head of the White House secretary or for a high-level position in charge of health issues, such as responding to the coronavirus.
The New York Times reported that former Obama administration secretary of state John Kerry is also the “inner circle” of former Vice President Biden.
Former Secretary Kerry has served as a senator for 28 years and has served as the Senate Foreign Relations Chairman, succeeding former Vice President Biden.
Observations are being made that the Biden administration will be employed in senior positions on climate change issues.
Former Under Secretary of Defense Michelle Planoy is being considered the first female Defense Secretary in US history.
During the Obama administration, former Vice Minister Flanoy was the Pentagon’s top deputy minister during the Obama administration, and in 2007 she co-founded the New American Security Center (CNAS), a progressive think tank.
The Washington Post newspaper quoted close associates that former Vice President Biden plans to appoint a number of people of color and women, including blacks and Latinos, to high-ranking executive positions.
The US media predict that when the election of former Vice President Biden is confirmed, he will first appoint the Chief Secretary of the White House and form the National Economic Commission.
