US President-elect, Joe Biden has nominated former Deputy Secretary of State William Burns as new director of the Central Intelligence Agency, CIA.
“Bill Burns is an exemplary diplomat with decades of experience on the world stage keeping our people and our country safe and secure. He shares my profound belief that intelligence must be apolitical and that the dedicated intelligence professionals serving our nation deserve our gratitude and respect,” Biden said in a statement on Monday 11 January 2021.
President-elect Joe Biden expects that, “Ambassador Burns will bring the knowledge, judgment, and perspective we need to prevent and confront threats before they can reach our shores,” he added.
“The American people will sleep soundly with him as our next CIA Director. “Whether it’s cyber attacks emanating from Moscow, the challenge China poses, or the threat we face from terrorists and other non-state actors, he has the experience and skill to marshal efforts across government and around the world to ensure the CIA is positioned to protect the American people,” Biden added.
“This will be the first cabinet ever that is evenly composed of as many women as men, the first cabinet ever with a majority of people of colour, …” Biden noted.
On 20 January 2021, Joe Biden would be inaugurated as the 46th president of USA.
