The U.S. State Department has announced the imminent retirement of Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, a controversial foreign policy hawk frequently targeted for criticism by some prominent America First conservatives as a “globalist” and “warmonger.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on March 5 that Ms. Nuland intends to step down “in the coming weeks” and that John Bass, Under Secretary for Management, will temporarily fulfill her duties until a permanent replacement is found.
