Biden's world
Meet the team devising President Biden鈥檚 foreign policy.
President Biden claims 鈥淎merica is back鈥. He plans to put diplomacy first and restore long-standing American alliances.
His predecessor, President Trump, left behind a very different world from the one he greeted in 2016. Fresh crises confront the Biden Administration, including the Myanmar coup and political unrest in Russia. And climate change is now an urgent global problem.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki are tasked with repositioning America in that shifting world. They will assume a host of difficult problems 鈥 the rise of China, Putin鈥檚 Russia, Iranian nuclear capability and the conflict in Syria.
So who are they? And can they bring America back, to assume a leadership role in this complex new world?
成人快手 Washington reporter Suzanne Kianpour, who covered the Iran nuclear negotiations during the Obama Administration, reports.
