Haig shown pragmatic early in new role as secretary of state
Haig has spent three weeks as secretary of state shaping a pragmatic approach that blends decisive tough talk on the Kremlin with openness to resumed arms talks. He resists White House budget cuts to foreign aid, supports strong defense, and has largely placed foreign service professionals in key posts while steering interagency policy with Defense Secretary Weinberger. He aims to be both chief architect and spokesman of U.S. foreign policy, balancing loyalty to Reagan’s aims with his own calculated management of the department and its alliances.
