What President Biden’s picks for top foreign-policy jobs reveal about his approach to the world.
This week on Foreign Policy Playlist we feature a conversation with two of our own reporters, Robbie Gramer and Jack Detsch, discussing the senior appointments U.S. President Joe Biden has made in departments and agencies across Washington. His choices tell us a lot about the course Biden will chart on foreign-policy issues in the coming years. Gramer and Detsch spoke with Foreign Policy’s executive editor, Amelia Lester, on a recent conference call for Foreign Policy subscribers.
