‘Our Alliances Are Stronger’: Sullivan Wraps Up National Security Under Biden
US national security is stronger today due to the actions of the Biden administration.
That's according to outgoing White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
One key area has been President Biden’s bolstering of the transatlantic NATO alliance following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, said Sullivan, who served as national security adviser during the entire four years of the Biden administration.
Donald Trump’s national security team will take office next Monday with Trump’s inauguration to a second, four-year term.
“Well, I‘d start by saying our alliances are stronger than we found them four years ago. They’re stronger than they‘ve been in decades,” Sullivan said in a Sunday appearance on CNN. “NATO is more powerful, purposeful and bigger. Our alliances in the Asia-Pacific are at all-time highs. And our adversaries and competitors are weaker across the board. Russia is weaker. Iran is weaker. China is weaker. And all the while, we kept America out of war.
“So I think the American people are safer and the country is better off than we were four years ago. And we‘re handing all that off to the next team, as well as having the engines of American power humming, our economy, our technology, our defense industrial base, our supply chains,” he added. “So the United States is in a stronger, more secure position, and our competitors and adversaries are weaker and under pressure.”
