Joe Biden Says His Picks Show US Back On World Stage

President-elect Joe Biden says his national security team will lead the way in reflecting the fact that “America is back” on the world stage.

During a speech Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware, Biden said that his team would “embody my core beliefs that America is strongest when it works with its allies.”

In revealing his national security picks, including top posts for State Department and Department of Homeland Security, Biden said the chosen



people show "insight and administration, crisp reasoning and viewpoint and a persistent confidence in the guarantee of America." 

The State Department alone has seen a critical number of takeoffs from its senior and rising mid-level positions during the Trump organization.

Many diplomats have opted to retire or leave the foreign service, given limited prospects for advancements under an administration they believed did not value their expertise.
