Stewart Verdery, who served as an assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security during the George W. Bush administration, said Biden appears to be looking for experienced players in his foreign policy team. “The national security team, in particular, is going…to have to rebuild trust with our allies that has been seriously tested the past four years. It’s probably not fair to call it a third Obama term, but the dynamic is very similar to the decisions George H.W. Bush made after the 1988 election,” said Verdery, the CEO of Monument Advocacy.
