What Else Did Miller Say?
Miller also addressed a question regarding global mistrust after the election of Donald Trump, with concerns raised by Europe, US partners, and even President Joe Biden, who pardoned his son despite previously stating he would not.
In response, Miller stated that it would not be appropriate for him to comment on the policies of an administration that has not yet taken office, adding that the new State Department spokesperson will address questions about President Trump's foreign policy.
"Look, I don't think it's appropriate for me to comment on the policies of an administration that has not yet taken office. We have one president at a time. I'm glad to stand up here and take questions about President Biden's foreign policy. And presumably, there will be
a new State Department spokesperson on January 21st who can take questions about President Trump's foreign policy," Matthew Miller said, PTI reported.
