Biden to announce portfolios in his government on Tuesday

SANAA, Nov. 23 (YPA) – US media revealed on Monday that President-elect Joe Biden intends to announce the ministerial portfolios in his government.
“The president-elect will announce the new government on Tuesday, but he refused to specify which positions would be filled first,” Biden’s new White House chief of staff, Ron Klein, said on Sunday.
According to the agency “Bloomberg”, the President-elect, Joe Biden, intends to appoint Anthony Blinken as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Anthony Blinken served on the National Security Council during the administration of former President Bill Clinton before becoming director of personnel on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, when Biden was chair of the committee.
In the early years of the Obama administration, Blinken returned to the National Security Council, before moving to the State Department to serve as Deputy Secretary of State John Kerry.
The agency quoted two informed sources, “Biden is also likely to appoint Jake Sullivan, who was previously one of Hillary Clinton’s closest aides, as a national security advisor.”
Sullivan, 43, and Blinken, 58, both held the positions of Biden’s National Security Adviser when he was Vice President Barack Obama.
According to the agency, the State Department is the largest diplomatic post in the country, while the President’s Adviser for National Security Affairs is one of the most important and powerful jobs in the White House, where he leads a team of dozens of experts from government military, diplomatic and intelligence agencies who develop US foreign and military policy.
