Reference News Network reported on February 10 that according to the Associated Press Washington news, on the 9th local time, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin nominated Michael Bloomberg, an 80-year-old American billionaire and former mayor of New York City, as the next chairman of the "Defense Innovation Committee". The committee is an important advisory body of the U.S. Department of Defense, and its members will make recommendations and opinions to the top of the Department of Defense on how to accelerate military innovation and how to deal with threats to national security.
Shortly after taking over as Pentagon chief, Austin began restructuring the Defense Innovation Commission, suspending its activities and purging several members appointed by former President Trump's administration during the final period. Austin believes that Bloomberg's extensive experience in creating the American media "Bloomberg" and one of the largest U.S. charities, Bloomberg Philanthropy, can bring a new atmosphere to the Defense Innovation Committee.
Bloomberg himself reportedly issued a statement after hearing the nomination that he would work to bring more new ideas and more perspectives to the Defense Innovation Council. (Editor/Yang Wenjing)
