WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 21st October, 2021) President Joe Biden sent to the US Senate his nomination for head of the recently-relaunched Sanctions Coordination Office, the White House said.
Biden sent his nomination of James O'Brien to be Head of the Office of Sanctions Coordination, the White House said on Wednesday.
