Summary

Antony Blinken was the 71st Secretary of State, serving under President Joe Biden. As the nation’s top diplomat, he worked on restoring U.S. ties with allies and multilateral institutions following Trump’s first term. He also led U.S. aid responses in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Israel’s war in Gaza after the October 7 Hamas attack. Both of those wars rage on today. Secretary Blinken joins Preet to discuss Trump’s latest peace proposal for Gaza, the President’s recent about-face on Ukraine, and the relevance of the U.N. Then, Preet answers your questions about the Comey indictment. In the bonus for Insiders, Secretary Blinken shares his thoughts on his successor, Secretary Marco Rubio.
