Retired four-star U.S. general Lloyd Austin has made history Friday by becoming America s first Black secretary of defense.
President Biden s nomination of Austin, who retired from the Army in 2016 after 41 years of service, was confirmed by the Senate in a 93-2 vote. Austin has had a long-standing relationship with Biden as he served as commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq during President Obama’s first term in office.
