At Naval Academy Graduation, Harris Focuses on Strengthening a 'Fragile' World
WASHINGTON Vice President Kamala Harris achieved another first for women on Friday when she addressed the graduating class of the United States Naval Academy, becoming the first female commencement speaker in the schools nearly 175-year history.
The vice presidents speech focused on some of the Biden administrations most urgent challenges, like the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and a host of increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats occurrences she called warning shots that would require a military trained to counter them.
A gang of hackers can disrupt the fuel supply of a whole seaboard, Ms. Harris said. One countrys carbon emissions can threaten the sustainability of the whole earth. This, midshipmen, is the era we are in and it is unlike any era that came before.
The vice presidents speech at the Naval Academy, in Annapolis, Md., was her first to focus on the military, and it came as the Biden administration accelerated its withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, well ahead of the Sept. 11 deadline President Biden set in April.
