Biden begins to choose his government for the United States.
Former Fed President Janet Yellen would be in charge of the economy, and Antony Blinken the head of US diplomacy.
Donald Trump still does not acknowledge his defeat, but although Joe Biden has not yet been confirmed by the electoral college as the next president of the United States, the democrat has already begun to form his cabinet, ahead of the inauguration that will take place next January 20.
A government that will have a strong female component, diverse and in which former positions of the Barack Obama administration will also play an important role, and also that has the main objective of recovering the international leadership of the country.
This was stated by Biden himself, who noted that “I need a team ready on the first day in office to help me regain the leadership role of the United States, unite the world to face the most important challenges we face and promote our security, prosperity and values. We have no time to waste when it comes to our national security and our foreign policy. "
In the economic part, a key position will be the person in charge of promoting the stimulus plans, channeling the public investment strategy and continuing to face the crisis due to the pandemic, Biden would choose the former president of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, as reported various media in the United States.
If so, Biden would continue to implement greater relevance to positions held by women, after Kamala Harris is to become the first vice president. Yellen would be a pioneer as Secretary of the Treasury, as she already was at the head of the country's central bank.
Beyond economics, Biden selected Antony Blinken as the chief of US diplomacy, as he will occupy the post of Secretary of State.
Close to Biden and a self-confessed multilateralist, Blinken's role will be essential to re-enter the United States into the global agreements that Trump left, as well as to re-weave alliances with partners around the world. He was number two in that department during a part of the Obama administration.
Another of the familiar faces will be John Kerry, who was one of the architects of the Paris Agreement as Secretary of State of the country in 2015, and will occupy the position of special representative for the climate.
Likewise, the appointment of Alejandro Mayorka, an immigrant born in Havana, as Secretary of National Security, who will be in charge of issues such as immigration and border security, also attracted attention. He was one of the creators of the strategy to protect the "dreamers" or dreamers.
Biden thus began to outline his government, at a time when more and more Republicans are withdrawing their support for Trump and urging him to recognize the electoral result, since the president's judicial strategy has been fading in recent years. days in the most contested states.
