I am privileged to be in the room to feel the extraordinary affection of Senator George Mitchell for Northern Ireland and the people of this place for him. Marking 25 years of the Belfast / Good Friday Agreement @QUBelfast #Agreement25

My incredibly smart former @Kennedy_School student @Ali_Wyne has published a timely and important book, "America's Great-Power Opportunity," that shows how America can compete effectively with China and Russia and articulate a positive vision of its global role.

A good reminder of the importance of post-war elections in Ukraine, written by my good friend Peter Erben, who has dedicated more than the past decade to building democratic institutions in Ukraine.

I am so very saddened to learn of the loss of @OPECSecretariat SG Mohammad Barkindo. He was a warm and wonderful man and did a great deal to bridge divides of all kinds. I will miss him, as I know will many others.

I’m honored to be a member of the newly announced ⁦@StateDept⁩ Foreign Affairs Policy Board. I’m eager to work w this extraordinary group chaired by Tom Donilon and Cecilia Munoz to provide our best advice to ⁦@SecBlinken⁩ and senior leaders.

I announced my selections for @StateDept’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board. With their counsel on issues of increasing importance to the lives and livelihoods of Americans, we will ensure that our diplomatic efforts reflect the needs of the American people.

Like hundreds of other Americans, I consider being included on the Putin regime’s list of people blacklisted from Russia more of a “lifetime achievement award” than a penalty.

In a new By Invitation essay in @TheEconomist, @JasonBordoff & I argue Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has highlighted the need for an energy transition, a process that we contend must begin with investments in affordable and secure energy today.

In @ForeignAffairs, the accomplished @JasonBordoff and I unpack the geopolitical dimensions of the energy transition, bracing policy makers and others for volatility and counterintuitive developments that will reorder int’l affairs and possibly threaten the transition itself.

Like others, I mourn the loss of Gen Powell today. He was a man of such integrity and I am proud to have worked for him. He stood up for me at a time when others did not want me to deploy to Iraq. I am eternally grateful for his support and his leadership and moral compass.

Strong argument by Paulson and Bowles why a carbon tax is an essential element of America’s energy transition - and global leadership.

Congratulations to @Columbia for its decision to build a climate school and to my friend and colleague @JasonBordoff who will provide great leadership for it! https://t.co/FwOTGWpLo8

I was saddened and disconcerted by the decision to withdraw the remaining small # of US troops from Afghanistan. In this piece, Richard Haass & I focus mainly on 6 things that the US can do to mitigate the downsides of this worrying decision. 

My parents came here after the war. I was born in New York. I’ve served a US president and represented US national security interests in hard-fought negotiations with adversaries. But I am still a victim of racial epithets and told “to go back to your country.” #StopAsianHate

On GPS, @ 10am & 1pm ET on @CNN: I’ll ask @BillGates about his plans for averting climate disaster & how Covid-19 will unfold from here, & I'll examine the Biden admin’s Khashoggi report implicating MBS w/ @OSullivanMeghan, @MiddleEast_HKS’s Tarek Masoud, & @NickKristof

I’ve had the privilege of serving with President-elect Joe Biden over the last decade. He’s the leader we need at this critical moment in history. I’ll be honored to join his NSC team under the leadership of @jakejsullivan. 12 days!
