Henry Kissinger, controversial statesman who influenced U.S. foreign policy for decades
Renowned diplomat Henry Kissinger, a pivotal figure in 20th-century foreign policy, passed away at the age of 100 on Wednesday, according to his firm.
Serving as U.S. ambassador to Bolivia, secretary of state, and national security adviser under Presidents Nixon and Ford, Kissinger remained influential even after leaving government in 1977.
In a recent interview weeks before his 100th birthday, Kissinger asserted his active engagement in global affairs, expressing confidence that world leaders like China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin would readily take his calls.
While credited for “realpolitik” and secret diplomacy that improved U.S.-China relations, Kissinger faced controversy for alleged war crimes, including the bombing of Cambodia during the Vietnam War and support for Pakistan’s actions in Bangladesh.
Despite disagreements, President Biden acknowledged Kissinger’s “fierce intellect” and continued contributions to policy discussions, CBS News reported.
