Joe Biden Picks Linda Thomas-Greenfield as UN Ambassador
b'
Linda Thomas-Greenfield will be nominated by President-elect Joe Biden to serve as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. She is a veteran diplomat who most recently served as Assistant-Secretary of State for African Affairs in the Obama administration. Prior to that she served as the US Ambassador to Liberia during a critical time in that country\'s transition to democracy.
Linda Thomas-Greenfield left the State Department in 2017, amid a wider purge by the Trump administration of senior career diplomats. Not long after, she sat down with me for a long interview about her life and career.\\xa0 We cover a lot of ground in this interview, which alternates between a discussion about policy and her own fascinating life story.\\xa0
