New national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, details some of the post-Trump foreign policy priorities for Biden

US President Joe Bidenās national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, says dealing with China, Afghanistan and Iran are key early priorities for the new administration.
āFrom our perspective, a critical early priority has to be to deal with what is an escalating nuclear crisis as they (Iran) move closer and closer to having enough fissile material for a weapon,ā Sullivan told an online programme sponsored by the US Institute of Peace on Friday.
āWe would like to make sure that we establish some of the parameters and constraints around the program that have fallen away over the course of the past few years,ā Sullivan continued.
Sullivanās comments come after Bidenās new secretary of state, Tony Blinken, on Wednesday insisted Tehran must resume complying with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal before Washington would do so.
Blinken said āthat if Iran comes back into full compliance with its obligations under the JCPOA, the United States would do the same thingā.
Tehran will not accept the USās demands that it reverse acceleration of its nuclear programme before Washington lifts sanctions, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Friday.
The demand āis not practical and will not happenā, he said at a joint news conference in Istanbul with his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu.
Iran breached the terms of the accord in a step-by-step response to the decision by Bidenās predecessor, Donald Trump, to abandon the deal in 2018 and reimpose sanctions on Tehran.
Earlier this month, Iran resumed enriching uranium to 20 percent at its underground Fordow nuclear plant ā a level it achieved before the accord.
However, Iran has said it can quickly reverse those violations if US sanctions are lifted.
āIf the United States fulfils its obligations, we will fulfil our obligations in full,ā he said.
āHard lookā at Taliban agreement
Sullivan discussed the May 1 deadline to withdraw the remaining US forces in Afghanistan under the deal, stating they are ātaking a hard lookā at how the Taliban is complying with its agreement with the US before deciding how to proceed.
The agreement, Sullivan pointed out, has three conditions that āstand outā to the Biden administration: The Talibanās cutting of ties with āterroristā groups, their āmeaningfulā reduction of violence and support of ceasefires, and their participation in āreal ā¦ not fakeā negotiations with the Afghan government.null
āWhat weāre doing right now, is taking a hard look at the extent to which the Taliban are in fact complying with those three conditions, and in that context, we make decisions about our force posture and our diplomatic strategy going forward,ā Sullivan said.
His comments come one day after the Pentagon said āit is very hardā to see a āway forwardā with the agreement without the Taliban meeting its commitments.
āWithout them meeting their commitments to renounce terrorism and to stop the violent attacks on the Afghan National Security Forces ā¦ it is very hard to see a specific way forward for the negotiated settlement, but weāre still committed to that,ā Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Thursday.
US officials and diplomats have said ties between the Taliban, especially its Haqqani Network branch, and al-Qaeda remain close.null
āThus far, the Taliban has been, to put it politely, reticent to meet their requirements,ā Kirby added.
Meanwhile, the Taliban on Friday accused the US of violating its side of the agreement with a spokesman saying āalmost every day they are violating itā.
āThey are bombarding civilians, houses and villages, and we have informed them from time to time, these are not just violations of the agreement but violations of human rights,ā Mohammad Naeem, a Taliban spokesman in Qatar, told the AFP news agency on Friday.
China also key
Sullivan also said on Friday the United States must be prepared to impose costs on China for its actions against Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, its crackdown in Hong Kong and threats towards Taiwan.
He said the US needs to speak with clarity and consistency and needs to be āprepared to act, as well to impose costs, for what China is doing in Xinjiang, what it is doing in Hong Kong, for the bellicosity and threats it is projecting towards Taiwanā.
Sullivan did not elaborate on specific steps Washington might take
He said the China issue was at the top of those to be addressed between the US and allies in Europe and stressed the need to agree on joint responses with Europe on Chinaās trade and technology abuses.
āWe donāt have entirely aligned perspectives on every one of these issues ā¦ I think China is right at the top of the list of things that weāve got to work together on and where there is work to do to get fully aligned.
The Biden administration, which took office on January 20, has indicated it will continue the tough approach to China pursued by Trump but wants Beijingās cooperation on policy priorities such as climate change.
Blinken has endorsed a last-minute determination by his predecessor, Mike Pompeo, that China has committed genocide in Xinjiang. The move increases pressure for more US sanctions, which the Trump administration also imposed over Beijingās crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong.
Bidenās administration issued a strong statement in support of Taiwan amid stepped-up Chinese military activity near the island, stressing the US commitment to Taipei is ārock solidā.
FILE – A U.S. Army soldier assigned to Site Security Team Task Force Guardian, is seen at an unidentified location in Somalia, June 10, 2020.
The United States military has completed withdrawing troops from Somalia, according to the U.S. Africa Command.Ā Ā Ā Ā AFRICOM spokesperson Colonel Christopher P. Karns confirmed to VOA Somali that the repositioning of the troops was completed ahead of the deadline in a presidential directive last December ordering the troop removal by mid-January.Ā Ā Ā The number of U.S. military personnel in Somalia ranged from 650 to 800 people. U.S. troops supported and mentored an elite Somali unit known as the Danab ālightningā brigade.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Karns said a āvery limitedā U.S. presence remains in Somalia.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āFor force protection considerations, I won’t go into roles, responsibilities, locations, or the very limited remaining U.S. presence for force protection and operational reasons,ā he said.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āThe president’s directive has been carried out,ā he added.Ā Ā Ā Ā U.S. military officials earlier said most of the personnel will be repositioned in the region, but Karns would not provide a breakdown of where U.S. forces have been moved to in Africa ādue to ongoing operations.āĀ Ā Ā Ā AFRICOM said the repositioning was finished a couple of days early while still applying pressure to al-Shabab in the process. On January 13, the day of the completion, AFRICOM reported the third airstrike against al-Shabab this year. The strike in the vicinity of Buulo Falaay in the Bay region killed one al-Shabab member and destroyed a compound, according to AFRICOM.Ā Ā Ā Ā The U.S. vowed to continue to engage Somali forces and maintain pressure against al-Shabab.Ā Ā Ā Ā Karns said the operation continues into its ānext phase of periodic engagement with Somali security forces.āĀ Ā Ā āOur focus very much remains fixed and focused on al-Shabab,ā Karns said. āIt would not be wise for them to test us.āĀ Ā Ā Ā On Sunday, the al-Shabab militant group attacked a convoy of Somali forces escorting a regional governor and military officers in the vicinity of Tihsile village about 50 kilometers west of Mogadishu. The convoy was on its way to Ballidogle airport where many of the U.S. personnel training Somali forces had been based. Several soldiers were wounded, according to Somali security officials who could not be named because they are not authorized to speak to the media. Ā

Biden spoke out as millions of Americans saw their jobless benefits expire after Trump threw a long-awaited pandemic aid package into doubt, demanding lawmakers more than triple the $600 direct payments to US taxpayers.

US President-elect Joe Biden has warned of “devastating consequences” if President Donald Trump continues to delay signing a Covid-19 economic relief bill passed by Congress.
Biden spoke out as millions of Americans saw their jobless benefits expire after Trump threw a long-awaited pandemic aid package into doubt, demanding lawmakers more than triple the $600 direct payments to US taxpayers.
“This abdication of responsibility has devastating consequences. Today, about 10 million Americans will lose unemployment insurance benefits,” Biden said in a statement.
The stimulus measure is wrapped up with a $1.4 trillion funding bill, without which the government will be forced to shut down at midnight Monday.
“In just a few days, government funding will expire, putting vital services and paychecks for military personnel at risk,” Biden added.
“In less than a week, a moratorium on evictions expires, putting millions at risk of being forced from their homes over the holidays.”
In a video late on Tuesday, Trump, who is due to leave office in less than a month, called the $900 million bill “a disgrace” despite it being passed on Monday with a large bipartisan majority after months of negotiation.
The legislation was designed to throw a lifeline to businesses and people struggling to keep their heads above water.
But in a pre-recorded statement made in the White House, Trump said he would refuse to accept the bill without changes increasing the checks to taxpayers to $2,000.
The move puts the Republican president at odds with his party’s Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell and House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, who have ruled out any larger stimulus measures.
Republicans on Thursday blocked a Democratic effort to increase the payments that would go to all taxpayers earning up to $75,000 a year, with smaller amounts for those making up to $99,000.
“Delay means more small businesses won’t survive this dark winter because they lack access to the lifeline they need, and Americans face further delays in getting the direct payments they deserve as quickly as possible to help deal with the economic devastation caused by Covid-19,” Biden added.
It is almost unprecedented for a president to veto a bill that received such overwhelming bipartisan support.
But his veto of a defence funding bill on Wednesday, the NDAA, ensures lawmakers will return to Washington after Christmas to override the action.
And while Congress also would almost certainly override a presidential veto of the funding package, Trump could pull off a “pocket veto,” by simply refusing to sign the bill until the current Congressional term ends and the new session is installed January 3.
Covid-19 cases have spiked and the US death toll stands at more than 330,000. Economic recovery has faltered despite the roll-out of vaccinations offering hope for an end to the outbreak in 2021.
Unemployment benefits for millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet were set to lapse at midnight Saturday night unless Trump signed an end-of-year Covid relief and spending bill that had been considered a done deal before his sudden objections.
āItās a chess game and we are pawns,ā said Lanetris Haines, a self-employed single mother of three in South Bend, Indiana, who stands to lose her $129 weekly jobless benefit unless Trump signs the package into law or succeeds in his improbable quest for changes.
āIāve been talking to people who are scared theyāre going to be kicked out from their homes, during the Christmas holidays, and still might be if we donāt sign this bill,āā said Representative Debbie Dingell, a Michigan Democrat.
Lauren Bauer, a fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, has calculated that 11 million people would lose aid from the programs immediately without additional relief; millions more would exhaust other unemployment benefits within weeks.
Andrew Stettner, an unemployment insurance expert and senior fellow at the Century Foundation think tank, said the number may be closer to 14 million because joblessness has spiked since Thanksgiving.
āAll these folks and their families will suffer if Trump doesnāt sign the damn bill,āā Heidi Shierholz, director of policy at the liberal Economic Policy Institute, tweeted on Wednesday. However, she said the unemployed could potentially receive payments retroactively if the bill is eventually signed.
How and when people are affected by the lapse depends on the state they live in, the program they are relying on and when they applied for benefits. In some states, people on regular unemployment insurance could continue to receive payments under a program that extends benefits when the jobless rate surpasses a certain threshold, Stettner said.
About 9.5 million people, however, rely on the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program that expires altogether Saturday. That program made unemployment insurance available to freelancers, gig workers and others who are normally not eligible.
After receiving their last checks, those recipients will not be able to file for more aid starting Monday, Stettner said.
While payments could be received retroactively, any gap means more hardship and uncertainty for Americans who have already grappled with bureaucratic delays, often depleting much of their savings to stay afloat while waiting for payments to kick in.
They are people like Earl McCarthy, a father of four who lives in South Fulton, Georgia, and has been relying on unemployment since losing his job as a sales representative for a luxury senior living community.
He said he will be left with no income by the second week of January if Trump fails to sign the bill.
McCarthy said he already burned through much of his savings as he waited five months to begin receiving his unemployment benefits. After leaving weekly messages with the unemployment agency, McCarthy reached out to the South Fulton mayorās office, then to his state legislative representative to ask for help. He finally started getting payments in November.
āThe entire experience was horrifying,” said McCarthy, who is receiving about $350 a week in unemployment insurance.
“For me, I shudder to think if I had not saved anything or had an emergency fund through those five months, where would we have been?ā he said. āItās going to be difficult if the president doesnāt sign this bill.ā
The bill awaiting Trump’s signature would also activate a weekly $300 federal supplement to unemployment payments.
Sharon Shelton Corpening had been hoping the extra help would allow her 83-year-old mother, with whom she lives, to stop eating into her social security payments to make their $1,138 rent.
Corpening, who lives in the Atlanta area, had launched a freelance content strategy business that was just taking off before the pandemic hit, prompting several of her contracts to fall through. She is receiving about $125 a week under the pandemic unemployment program and says she will be unable to pay her bills in about a month. This, despite her temporary work for the US census and as an elections poll worker.
āWe on the brink,ā said Corpening. āOne more month, if that. Then, I run out of everything.”
Trump still refusing his loss to Biden
Trump, meanwhile, has been spending his final days in office golfing and angrily tweeting as he refuses to accept his loss to Biden in the November 3 election. On Saturday, he again lashed out at members of his own party for failing to join his quest to try to overturn the results of the election with baseless claims of mass voter fraud that have been repeatedly rejected by the courts.
āIf a Democrat Presidential Candidate had an Election Rigged & Stolen, with proof of such acts at a level never seen before, the Democrat Senators would consider it an act of war, and fight to the death,” he railed. He said Senate Majority Leader McConnell and his Republicans “just want to let it pass. NO FIGHT!ā
Trump also lashed out at the Supreme Court, the Justice Department and the FBI as he seemed to encourage his supporters to gather in Washington on January 6, the day Congress tallies the Electoral College vote ā even though a similar event last month devolved into violence, with multiple people being stabbed in the capital’s streets.
In addition to freezing unemployment benefits, Trump’s lack of action on the bill would lead to the expiration of eviction protections and put on hold a new round of subsidies for hard-hit businesses, restaurants and theatres, along with money to help schools and vaccine distribution.

The pilot of an F-16 fighter jet that crash in the Upper Peninsula has died, the Wisconsin Air National Guard announced Thursday.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon assigned to the 115th Fighter Wing at Truax Field Air National Guard Base in Madison crashed around 8 p.m. Tuesday. The plane crashed in the Hiawatha National Forest, which is about 250 miles northeast of Truax Field.
The crash launched a massive, multistate search for the pilot and their plane.
The pilot was the only person aboard, the Guard says. The pilot will not be named until 24 hours after notifying the service memberās next of kin.
āWe are deeply saddened by this tragic loss, and our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time,ā 115th Fighter Wing commander Col. Bart Van Roo said in a statement Thursday. āToday is a day for mourning, and the 115th Fighter Wing along with the entire Wisconsin National Guard stands with the pilotās family as we grieve the loss of a great Airman, and patriot.ā
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
An F-16 that took off from Truax Field in 2011 crashed into a vacant house in Adams County. The pilot ejected safely, but a fire forced 50 people to evacuate their nearby homes, according to the Associated Press.
The U.S. Air Force decided in April of 2020 that Truax Field in Madison will receive 18 new F-35 fighter planes, to replace aging F-16s.
Mogadishu(CeelWaaqNew)– The Federal Government of Somalia notes the Kenyan governmentās attempt to infringe upon the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence and unity of Somalia and hereby expresses its deep regret with the Kenyan governmentās continuous interferences in the internal and political affairs of Somalia.
Therefore, the Federal Government of Somalia summons its Ambassador to the Republic of Kenya and instructs the Ambassador of the Republic of Kenya to Somalia to depart to Kenya for consultations.
The Federal Government of Somalia expresses its regret in the government of Kenyaās overt and blatant interferences in the internal and political affairs of the Federal Republic of Somalia which has the potential to be a hindrance to the stability, security and development of the entire region. In recent weeks, it has become apparent to the Federal Government of Somalia that the Kenyan government is placing great political pressure on the regional President of Jubaland, Mr. Axmed Maxamed Islaan (Madobe) in order to pursue its political and economic interests in Somalia.
The Federal Government of Somalia understands that as a result of the Kenyan governmentās political interferences in the internal affairs of Somalia, the regional President of Jubaland, has reneged on the election agreement that was reached on the 17th September 2020 in Mogadishu.
Somalia strongly upholds the principles of interdependence and maintaining our friendly relations with our neighbouring countries. However, the Federal Government of Somalia believes that the Kenyan government actions are not in line with the internationally recognised diplomatic relations enjoyed by Sovereign States.
For that reason, the Federal Government of Somalia recalls the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Somalia to the Republic of Kenya, Mr. Maxamed Axmed Nuur Tarzan, and instructs the Ambassador of the Republic of Kenya to Federal Republic of Somalia, Mr. Lucas Tumbo to depart to Kenya for consultation.
