President-elect Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that he will nominate Samantha Power, the former US ambassador to the United Nations, to lead the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), citing her background as a crisis-tested public servant and diplomat.
In a statement, Biden described Power, 50, as “a world-renowned voice of conscience and moral clarity — challenging and rallying the international community to stand up for the dignity and humanity of all people.”
