The Guardian reports:
President-elect Joe Biden has taken the podium in Wilmington, Delaware, to announce some of the leading figures of his incoming administration. “It’s a team that will keep our country and our people safe and secure,” he said.
In a prompt and clear rejection of Donald Trump’s retreat from cooperation on the world stage, with his nationalist “America first” approach, Biden said that the US wants to “sit at the head of the table” in international affairs and will “stand up to adversaries” and “not reject our allies”.
