(CNN) The biggest question facing the world after Donald Trump's defeat is: Can Joe Biden clean up the mess? Jake Sullivan, who served as Biden's national security adviser when he was vice president, would make a strong deputy national security adviser. The UN ambassador job should be reinstated to its former status to show that the Biden team is serious about re-engaging with the UN. Biden's national security team should also bring badly needed regular order to American national security decisions that are now often made by presidential tweet rather than by the deliberations of the National Security Council. To its credit, the Trump administration took a skeptical view of China's military expansionism and its unfair trade practices.
