Ned Price
Washington D.C./08.03.23/Turan: State Department spokesperson Ned Price will step down from his role as press secretary this month after more than two years on the job, and will transition to another role working directly for Blinken, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
“Ned has helped the U.S. government defend and promote press freedom around the globe and modeled the transparency and openness we advocate for in other countries” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday in a statement. "His contributions will benefit the Department long after his service."
Price, who held more than 200 briefings during his tenure, has often been a face and voice of U.S. foreign policy. He communicated the Biden Administration’s positions on a slew of major foreign policy issues, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Afghanistan withdrawal, Iran's malign actions in the region, as well as the developments in the South Caucasus.
