Biden nominates Cohen as deputy director of CIA again

-US President-elect Joe Biden nominated David Cohen, former deputy chief of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and former Vice Minister of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (58) of the Treasury Department, as the nominee of the CIA deputy director on the 15th (local time). Post (WP) and others reported. In the Barack Obama administration, he worked as deputy director of the CIA and vice minister of finance, and made a relationship with the then vice president-elect Biden. It is a hardline wave against North Korea who oversees financial sanctions against North Korea and traces illegal funds from the family of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

In a 2019 Washington Post (WP) contribution, “after the Trump administration came to power, the effects of sanctions on North Korea disappeared,” said Nominee Cohen. In particular, he criticized, “It is more dangerous for President Trump to withdraw and impose sanctions according to the whim of the president, such as falling in love with the target of the sanctions, Kim Jong-un and abandoning it.”

The nominee of Cohen was born in 1963 in Boston, Massachusetts. After graduating from Yale University Law School, he worked for a law firm, and after joining the Ministry of Finance in 1999, he became a vice minister. At that time, he insisted on strong sanctions against North Korea and designed various sanctions by the Obama administration against the hostile countries of the United States, such as Iran and Russia, and was called ‘sanctions guru’ by the US media. He also appeared as a surprise cameo in season 8 of the famous mid 2019’Game of Thrones’. I have a wife and two children I met in law school. Previously, Biden-elect appointed William Burns (65), former deputy secretary of the State Department, as CIA director on the 11th. Nominee Burns is a veteran diplomat who has worked for the U.S. Department of State for more than 30 years and, if approved by the Senate, becomes the first CIA director to be a career diplomat.
