Minneapolis native Jake Sullivan has been nominated for national security advisor by President-elect Joe Biden.

Sullivan told a University of Minnesota Humphrey School event last week that influence abroad flows from strength at home.

He said the U.S. must have “a stronger economy for working people, huge new investments in research and development, owning our future in key industries like clean energy and advanced manufacturing, making sure our democracy is robust and strong and inclusive and diverse, with institutions rooted in deep constitutional principles.”

These domestic priorities, he said, can serve as a foundation to promote U.S. interests abroad.

Former Vice President and U.S. Ambassador to Japan Walter Mondale also participated in the discussion moderated by University of Minnesota political science professor Larry Jacobs. The virtual event was held at the University of Minnesota Humphrey School on Nov. 25, 2020.
