US President Joe Biden announced on Monday the stepping down of Susan Rice, the Domestic Policy Council Director for the White House.

Biden commended Rice on her "record of public service," which "makes history" as she became the "only person to serve as both National Security Advisor and Domestic Policy Advisor." 

Moreover, the US President further explained that "what sets her [Rice] apart as a leader and colleague is the seriousness with which she takes her role and the urgency and tenacity she brings, her bias towards action and results, and the integrity, humility and humor with which she does this work. I thank Susan for her service, her counsel and her friendship. I will miss her."

It is worth noting that Rice served as the National Security Advisor, as well as US Ambassador to the United Nations of former US President Barak Obama's administration, and she backed the overthrow of Libyan leader Muammar Al-Ghaddafi, supported the Syrian rebel militias against President Bashar Al-Assad, and put up a show in Rwanda as early as 1994.

Rice also served under former US President Bill Clinton at the National Security Council (NSC) from 1993 to 1997 and as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs from 1997 until 2001.

Later, in 2021, Rice was banned from entering Russia for having "participated in the anti-Russia push" of US politics.
