The news is expected to be confirmed tomorrow. But the leading American media have made it official this weekend.
Deputy Secretary of State in 2015 and 2017, when the UN was headed by John Kerry, former senior national security adviser to Barack Obama's presidency, he took his first steps at the State Department at the time of Bill Clinton's administration. So Blinken knows the basics perfectly.
During the election campaign, he was the main adviser to the democratic candidate, who now also chooses him to send a precise signal: the new administration's priority will be new agreements and the reconstruction of alliances.
