Colin Powell, a New Yorker by birth, was the first black American secretary of state.
Colin Powell, who was Secretary of State of the United States during the presidency of George W. Bush, has died at age 84 due to complications caused by covid-19, who had the complete vaccination schedule, as his family announced on Facebook on Monday.
Powell, New Yorker By birth, he was the first black American secretary of state and a distinguished pioneer soldier who fought in Vietnam. Subsequently, he became the first black National Security Advisor during the end of the Ronald Reagan Presidency and the first and youngest Chairman of the Army Joint Chiefs of Staff between 1989 and 1993, during the George HW Bush and Bill Clinton administrations.
He was sworn in as George W. Bush’s Secretary of State in January 2001, a position he held until January 2005. It was during this period that he presented deficient information to the United Nations to advocate for the Iraq war, what he would later call a “blemish” on his record, according to the CNN television network.
The verification that the alleged weapons of mass destruction did not exist spoiled his diplomatic record, which meant that he was not confirmed in office after Bush’s reelection as president.
Powell, who has always declared himself a Republican voter, used his political capital to support the election of Barack Obama to the White House in 2008.
