President-elect Joe Biden on Monday named Linda Thomas-Greenfield as his pick for U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, assigning a career diplomat and former high-ranking State Department official to a key post in his administration.
The appointment also puts a Black woman in a highly visible and influential position among Biden’s foreign policy leadership, after the president-elect promised to promote racial equity and invest in America’s diplomatic corps.
Thomas-Greenfield, who served 35 years in the Foreign Service, is also an expert on Africa, having served as the assistant secretary for the Bureau of African Affairs during the Obama administration.
