Оптимистичное: при всех наездах на Трампа, его достижения дем.партийная администрация признаёт и декларирует что будет их продолжать (как я и думал раньше, внешнеполитические достижения Трампа таковы, что и дем.партийная администрация вынуждена будет их продолжать дабы не выставить себя явными мудаками):
Antony Blinken, President-elect Joe Biden's pick to lead the State Department offered praise for some GOP lawmakers, agreed with their assessments of Iran, Taiwan and Beijing's obfuscation about the Covid-19 pandemic and endorsed President Donald Trump's belief that the US needs to take a tough line on China.
Blinken was equally measured about the Trump administration's Middle East policy.
Asked if he recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Blinken said, "Yes." And asked if the US embassy would remain in Jerusalem, Blinken again said, "Yes." And he praised the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and Gulf and other Muslim nations. Blinken said he hopes the Abraham Accords create progress toward an Israeli-Palestinian agreement.
"As we look at China, there is no doubt that it poses the most significant challenge of any nation state to the United States, in terms of our interests the interest of the American people," Blinken said. "I think, as we're thinking about how to deal with China, we have to start by approaching China from a position of strength, not weakness,"
Blinken reiterated Biden's commitment to Taiwan. Blinken threaded a similar needle on Cuba.
Хотя:
Blinken confirmed that the Biden administration will end support for Saudi-led campaign in Yemen. Blinken made clear the Biden administration feels the world was safer with the Iran nuclear deal in place.
