However, former President\u200d Donald Trump\u200c broke\u2062 with convention in \u200b2017 by elevating the CIA director \u2063to a\u200b Cabinet post. Upon assuming office, President Biden reversed \u200cthis decision\u2064 and \u200binstead elevated Director of\u2064 National Intelligence Avril Haines to the Cabinet.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Working in \u200blockstep with\u2062 Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Bill has\u200c harnessed \u200bintelligence to give our\u2064 country a critical strategic advantage. Under his leadership, the CIA is \u200bdelivering a clear-eyed, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-to-respond-to-north-koreas-icbm-test\/\" title=\"How to Respond to North Korea\u2019s ICBM Test\">long-term approach<\/a> \u200bto our nation\u2019s top national security challenges \u2014 from tackling \u2064Russia\u2019s brutal aggression against Ukraine, to managing responsible \u2062competition with the People\u2019s Republic of China, to addressing the opportunities and risks of emerging technology,&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The president\u2063 expressed his\u2064 admiration for Burns&#8217; work, stating, &#8220;Bill has always given me clear, straightforward analysis that prioritizes \u200dthe \u2063safety and security of\u2064 the American people, \u2062reflecting the integral role the CIA plays in \u200dour national security decision-making at this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scottish-parliament-rejects-proposal-to-investigate-trumps-finances\/\" title=\"Scottish Parliament Rejects Proposal to Investigate Trump\u2019s Finances\">critical time<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>President Biden also highlighted a quote from Burns himself,\u200d emphasizing the importance of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cia-dir-nominee-u-s-must-prevent-iran-from-developing-nuclear-weapons\/\" title=\"CIA Dir. Nominee: U.S. must prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons\">good intelligence<\/a>, delivered with honesty and integrity.&#8221; This quote served as part of the rationale behind the decision, with the\u2064 president \u2064asserting that Burns has \u200bexemplified these qualities since \u200cday one.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With quiet courage, deep\u2063 humility, and extensive expertise, Bill has earned the\u200c respect of the brave women and men of the CIA,&#8221; Biden\u2064 praised.\u2063 &#8220;He leads with dignity and represents the\u200b very best of America, and I look forward\u200b to continuing to\u2064 work with\u2063 him in the years ahead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In \u2064a separate statement, \u2062Director\u200d of National Intelligence \u2063Avril Haines expressed her delight at\u2063 the news, saying, &#8220;I am absolutely delighted to join President Biden in welcoming CIA Director Bill Burns to the Cabinet. Director Burns has\u200c dedicated his life to public service, and his rare combination of expertise, experiences, talent, and intelligence are exactly what the President\u200b needs in\u200d his \u200dsenior-most advisors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Haines continued, &#8220;This nomination reflects the President\u2019s reliance and confidence in \u2063Bill for\u200c his unique insights and advice, and I cannot imagine a better colleague, \u2064friend, and leader who is more deserving of\u200c this recognition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the CIA director typically does not engage in diplomacy, Burns has played \u2063a crucial role as a\u200b top messenger\u200b for President Biden in matters concerning Russia and the war in Ukraine. In November 2021, \u2062he traveled to Moscow and delivered a warning to Russian President \u200dVladimir Putin,\u200c urging\u200d him not to invade Ukraine. Unfortunately, Putin chose to ignore this warning.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, \u2062President Biden&#8217;s decision to invite \u200dCIA Director William Burns to join his Cabinet demonstrates his commitment to assembling a team of exceptional individuals who will \u200dcontribute to the safety and security\u200b of the American people.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The \u2064Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the CIA, William Burns, to a Cabinet position.
