Matthew Miller
Washington D.C./12.04.23/Turan: U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday appointed former National Security Council and Justice Department official Matthew Miller as his new spokesperson to replace recently departed Ned Price, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
"I benefited greatly from Matt’s wisdom, his experience in government, and his deep understanding of foreign policy when he was tapped to head up my nomination," Blinken said in a statement.
Miller had joined the White House to lead the "whole of government communications and outreach" after Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the Secretary reminded.
"Having previously served as Director of the Office of Public Affairs and spokesperson to Attorney General Eric Holder at the Department of Justice, Matt is no stranger to navigating and communicating on complex, global challenges like those we face today," Blinken added.
Miller will assume the role as the daily face of American foreign policy from the State Department podium at the end of April. Acting Spokesperson Vedant Patel will continue his work as Principal Deputy Spokesperson.
