The White House says President Joe Biden is nominating a top adviser on Asia to serve as the State Department’s second-ranking diplomat
President Joe Biden is nominating a top adviser on Asia to serve as the State Department's second-ranking diplomat, the White House said Wednesday, elevating one of the architects of the administration's efforts to develop a more Asia-focused foreign policy. Kurt Campbell currently is deputy assistant to the president and coordinator for Indo-Pacific Affairs on the National Security Council.
If confirmed, he would replace Wendy Sherman, who retired in July, as deputy secretary of state. “Kurt is a tremendous asset,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement. “His passion and commitment to our alliances and partnerships is unquestionably strengthening America’s strategic position in the world and improving our ability to deal with shared challenges.
