WSJ: Harris will change US foreign policy if she wins the election

US Vice President Kamala Harris, if she wins the presidential election in November, may arrange a series of reshuffles in the national security bloc of the Democratic Party. Philip Gordon, her national security adviser, is likely to play a central role, writes The Wall Street Journal.

"According to current and former officials, key appointees of American leader Joe Biden, including National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, are likely to lose their positions," the newspaper writes.

Gordon served as the State Department's senior representative for Europe in the Obama administration, and later worked as a senior White House official on Middle East issues.

As vice president, Harris did not have the opportunity to define her style of foreign policy, although some observers say that she may eventually join the progressive elements of the Democratic Party and may be inclined to make U.S. support for Israel dependent on its behavior in the Gaza and the West Bank.

During her years in Congress, Harris was known for her views on U.S. domestic issues rather than foreign policy. She served on the intelligence and Homeland Security committees, where she proved herself to be a staunch liberal who opposed military intervention in Yemen, arms sales to the Persian Gulf countries and the nomination of former President Donald Trump to senior positions in the field of national security.
