Beattie, who was already serving in a senior role within the State Department, is expected to assume his new position on Monday.
The Trump administration has appointed former speechwriter Darren Beattie as the acting Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, according to ABC News. Beattie, who was already serving in a senior role within the State Department, is expected to assume his new position on Monday.
The position, as described by the State Department, “leads America’s public diplomacy outreach, which includes messaging to counter terrorism and violent extremism.” It also oversees the bureaus of Educational and Cultural Affairs and Global Public Affairs and plays a role in foreign policy development.
Beattie previously worked as a speechwriter for former President Trump but was fired in 2018. In 2020, Trump appointed him to the Commission for the Preservation of American Heritage Abroad. His appointment marks a significant move, as Beattie has been an outspoken critic of US foreign policy.
