Biden pivots from ‘America First’ with national security team

Al Jazeera  

US President-elect Joe Biden introduced several of his national security nominees Tuesday, marking a reversal of President Donald Trump’s “America First” foreign policy by saying his picks “embody my core beliefs that America is strongest when it works with its allies.” Biden officially unveiled his national security team Tuesday, including his nominees for secretary of state and secretary of homeland security, touting not only their experience, but also their diversity. “For example, we’re going to have the first woman lead the intelligence community, the first Latino and immigrant to lead the Department of Homeland Security and a groundbreaking diplomat at the United Nations.” Vice President-elect Kamala Harris added, “When Joe asked me to be his running mate, he told me about his commitment to making sure we selected a cabinet that looks like America that reflects the best of our nation, and that’s what we have done.” Biden’s emerging Cabinet marks a return to a more traditional approach to governing, relying on veteran policymakers with deep expertise and strong relationships in Washington, DC and global capitals. In the early years of the Obama administration, Blinken returned to the council and was Biden’s national security adviser when Biden was vice president, then moved to the State Department to serve as deputy to Kerry. Outside the realm of national security and foreign policy, Biden is expected to choose Janet Yellen as the first woman to become treasury secretary the Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press have reported.
