New national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, details some of the post-Trump foreign policy priorities for Biden
US President Joe Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, says dealing with China, Afghanistan and Iran are key early priorities for the new administration.
“From our perspective, a critical early priority has to be to deal with what is an escalating nuclear crisis as they (Iran) move closer and closer to having enough fissile material for a weapon,” Sullivan told an online programme sponsored by the US Institute of Peace on Friday.
“We would like to make sure that we establish some of the parameters and constraints around the program that have fallen away over the course of the past few years,” Sullivan continued.
Sullivan’s comments come after Biden’s new secretary of state, Tony Blinken, on Wednesday insisted Tehran must resume complying with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal before Washington would do so.

WNU Editor: The problem is not the Biden administration's focus. It is their polices. A nuclear deal with Iran, staying in Afghanistan, and shifting away from President Trump's use of tariffs against China are not the policies that I think will succeed. But that is what we are going to see from this administration.
This is either naive or stupid, may be both.
ReplyDeleteBelieving we can stop Iran to go to nuclear weapon is very naive. Iran begin its nuclear program in secret during 18 years and may be continuing in location we don't know.
Negotiating with China is naive and stupid. China never respect its word or even its signature. So, we shall give concessions to China for China concessions...they will not give anyway.
Staying in Afghanistan is purely stupid...what can we expect?
