Biden is the first president since George H.W. Bush to not have an Asian Cabinet Secretary. Some Asian-Americans (particularly those of East & Southeast Asian descent) have been upset at Biden over this.
Biden does haven some east asians in his cabinet to be fair. And Kamala too.

No. Trade Representative Katherine Tai is the ONLY East/Southeast Asian in Biden's Cabinet but she's NOT a Cabinet Secretary (head of a federal government agency). She's just a "Cabinet-level" official. Kamala is also not a Cabinet Secretary. Furthermore, what you're saying is amounting tokenism and that's what Sen. Duckworth is mad about. It just like a white person telling us that "racism against Black people doesn't exist because Obama was president".

Biden said that he would have a Cabinet that "looks like America". Yet, he couldn't choose an Asian person to be a Cabinet Secretary? Obama literally had 3.

India, US to expand military engagement, defense ties

NEW DELHI (AP) — Top defense officials from India and the United States pledged Saturday to expand their military engagement, underscoring the strengthening defense ties between two countries concerned over China’s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh met in New Delhi and agreed to deepen defense cooperation, intelligence sharing and logistics.

“India is an increasingly important partner in rapidly shifting international dynamics. I reaffirm our commitment to a comprehensive forward-looking defense partnership with India as a central pillar of our approach to the Indo-Pacific region,” Austin said.

Austin is making the first visit to India by a top member of President Joe Biden’s administration. His visit follows a meeting last week between leaders of Australia, India, Japan and the United States, which together make up the four Indo-Pacific nations known as the Quad.

The Quad is seen as a counterweight to China, who critics say is flexing its military muscle in the South China Sea, East China Sea, Taiwan Strait and along its northern border with India.

China has called the Quad an attempt to contain its ambitions.

Austin’s Indian counterpart, Singh, said the talks were focused on “expanding military-to-military engagement.”

“We are determined to realize the full potential of comprehensive global strategic partnership,” Singh said.

Austin arrived in New Delhi on Friday and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Modi “outlined his vision for the strategic partnership between the two countries and emphasized the important role of bilateral defense cooperation in India-U.S. ties.”

Before the talks on Saturday, Austin visited the National War Memorial and was accorded a ceremonial guard of honor.

The timing of Austin’s visit, which follows talks between high-ranking U.S. and Chinese officials in Alaska amid a bitter exchange of words, signals the importance Biden places on New Delhi as a security ally.

The U.S. and India have steadily ramped up their military relationship in recent years and signed a string of defense deals and deepened military cooperation. In 2019, the two sides concluded defense deals worth over $3 billion. Bilateral defense trade increased from near zero in 2008 to $15 billion in 2019.

The U.S.-India security partnership enjoys strong bipartisan support in Washington, and it has grown significantly since the early 2000s even though trade agreements have been a sticking point. But in recent years, relations between the countries have been driven by a convergence of interests to counter China.

More recently, India drew closer to the U.S. following its months-long military standoff with China along their disputed border in eastern Ladakh, where deadly clashes erupted last year. Tensions between the nuclear-armed Asian giants have eased after the two countries pulled back troops from one area of contention.

The military tensions between the two neighbors at that time had stoked fears of a larger confrontation.

Austin in a separate press briefing said the U.S. “never considered that India and China were on the threshold of war.”

News tonight: Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Illinois) stands down on her threat to block Biden nominees over lack of AAPI representation among cabinet secretaries — after assurances from the administration. A statement from her spokesman Ben Garmisa to me and @frankthorp
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), who had backed up Duckworth earlier, also says she’ll resume supporting Biden nominees after “a productive conversation with the White House today.” Her new statement:

it might be better to wait until before the midterms, but schumer needs to wield his most important power; forcing the republican senate to go on record and vote in front of the entire country. mcconnell shielded them for too long and got away with it

these fukking shootings are a good example. have pelosi draft a gun control bill, knowing its not gonna pass but call it the "assault rifle ban" and force the republicans to vote against it

do the same thing with weed, a 12 dollar minimum wage, etc. shyt thats guaranteed to have like 66 percent approval and just keep forcing the republicans to vote against them publicly
