Joe Biden: America, ready to lead the world

As he prepares to take over the country's leadership on January 20th, Biden said that the United States is “ready to face opponents, not to drop allies. We are ready to raise our voices in support of our” values.

From the centre of the transition work at Wilmington State Delauer, the President-elect introduced his national policy and security team.

These individuals embody my essential belief that America is stronger when working with its allies,” he said. This way we will keep America truly safe without engaging in unnecessary armed conflicts and keep our opponents and terrorists at bay”.

Individuals selected for high positions, especially the future secretary of state, Antony Blinken, have a globalist outlook, unlike the Trump administration.

Under the administration of President Trump, the US often found itself in discompatible positions with traditional Western allies, while Trump seemed to prefer a softer attitude towards autocrat leaders such as Russian President Putin, Turkish President Erdogan and Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Beden said: “America leads not only by its power but by the power of its example”.

He said officials who have chosen “will not only correct, but will shape new foreign policy and national security for the next generation. They're going to tell me what I need to know, not what I want to know”.

American foreign policy under the Biden administration is likely to focus on a multilateral and diplomatic approach aimed at repairing Washington's relations with key allies and following new ways on issues such as climate change.

Beden said he was surprised by calls with world leaders to the fact that how eagerly they are waiting for the United States to affirm their historic role as global leaders everywhere in the Pacific, Atlantic and around the world. ”

The elected officials, most of whom will seek confirmation of the Senate, appeared with Beden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris at an event organised for this purpose at Wilmington State Delauer.

Antony Blinken has close ties with President-elect Beden. He served in high-level national security roles when Biden was vice president during Obama's administration.

Biden said his selection of Antony Blinken will restore morals and confidence in the State Department, which answers to the country's diplomatic relations.

Among the other appointments for the cabinet of future President Joe Biden are Linda Thomas-Grenfield, former secretary of state, as US ambassador to the UN and Jake Sullivan as national security adviser. Mrs. Thomas-Grenfield, African-American, is a policy expert on Africa and has been in high office during Obama administration.

Biden also selected Alejandro Mayorkas to head the National Security Department and former Senator John Kerry as the president's special envoy for the climate.

Avril Haines was appointed director of national intelligence, the first woman to serve in such a role. She was deputy director of the CIA from 2013 to 2015 and also Vice National Security Adviser.

Janet Yellen, former head of the Federal Reserve, is expected to be named Secretary of the Treasury.

Although they are not widely recognised by the American public, former officials Blinken and Sullivan have helped Biden draft the strategy that will include immediate access to America's allies, as antagonisms were born from President Trump “Americana's policy, pre”. The future administration strategy demonstrates willingness to jointly respond to global problems, such as pandemic and economic crises.

The president-elect, Joe Biden, has pledged to return the country to the nuclear agreement with Iran if Tehran resumes respect for terms; return to the Paris Pact for climate; cancel plans for exiting the World Health Organization and cancelling the existing regulation that does not allow federal funding support of charity groups discussing abortion. These measures would annul the administration's policies of Trump, and some of them are expected to enter into force soon after the inauguration of the next resident on January 20th.

In his address Tuesday, President-elect Biden called on the senators to confirm his appointees on a two-party basis -- a implicit recognition of the obstacles the Senate, controlled by the Republicans, could reveal his administration.

The president-elect shared his vision of a foreign policy based on a leading role of the United States in the world and on strengthening alliances in the Asia-Peacekeeping region.

“Diplomacy among”

Blinken, 58, has long established the need for the US to take on a leading role in the world, communicating and co-operating with the allies, otherwise countries like China, which have very different interests.

“Although it may seem as a burden sometimes, alternatives, in terms of American interests and lives, would be much worse,” said Blinken in an interview with the Reuters news agency in October.

People who have become close to Blinken call it “diploms among diplomats”, with quiet speech but strong knowledge of foreign policy practices and details.

After Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election in 2016, Blinken was one of the founders of the WesternExec Advisors consulting group offering advice on geopolitical risks.

Blinken, a graduate as a lawyer, entered politics in the 1980s, helping raise funds to the democratic candidate in presidential elections, Michael Dukakis. He was one of the experts on preparing former President Bill Clinton's speeches, and then one of the national security advisers. During the Obama administration, he worked to limit the number of American troops deployed to most of the missions abroad.

During the Biden campaign, he has been one of his closest advisers, even on topics beyond foreign policy. He is known as Biden's trusted person, having worked with him since his unsuccessful efforts to run for president in 2008. At the beginning of Beden's term as vice president, Antony Biden worked as his adviser for national security and as head of staff for the Senate's Foreign Relations Commission while Biden was chairman of this commission.

Jake Sullivan used to work as Biden's national security adviser during the time he was vice president. The 43-year-old graduate of Yale University has also been a participant in the prestigious Rhodes programme at Oxford University and has been named for having to work behind the scenes. Sullivan was part of negotiations through informal channels and maneuvers that led to the 2015 meeting with Iran, which was canceled by President Trump.

Sullivan had in his wallet a number of foreign and domestic policy themes, including public health problems and responding to the economic shock from the pandemic, and soon became part of the transition team for President-elect Biden.
