The Biden administration seeks to show how policies abroad affect Americans at home. Just in time for U.S. elections and as support for Ukraine sags.
“The rubric” by which the administration wants to be judged on foreign policy, Russo said, “is the extent to which we have succeeded in delivering tangible benefits” to Americans.The goal comes in part from the blurring of lines between domestic and foreign policy, Russo said in an interview with The Times at the State Department.
Blinken, in his first speech as secretary of State, acknowledged that foreign policy “can sometimes feel disconnected from our daily lives.” “One of the ways we fix this problem ... of hunger and food security ... is through American agriculture and through American farmers,” Russo said, referring to the meeting.
“Obviously speaking about these big foreign issues is the bread and butter of the State Department and what we do,” Russo said. “It just requires a kind of slightly different mind-set and frame for how we talk about it when we talk about it domestically.”
