Biden said his team, which includes trusted aide Antony Blinken as his nominee for US secretary of state, would shed what the president-elect described as "old thinking and unchanged habits" in its approach to foreign relations. In his remarks, Biden said that working with allies would help keep America safe without engaging in "needless military conflicts." "Let's begin that work ... to heal and unite America as well as the world," Biden added. That process had been held up despite Biden emerging as the clear winner and world leaders recognising him as the next president. The Nevada Supreme Court on Tuesday also confirmed Biden had won the state, sending the results to Nevada's Democratic governor for final certification.
