Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is the 67th United States Secretary of State, serving in the administration of President Barack Obama.

Hillary first attracted national attention in 1969 for her remarks as the first student commencement speaker at Wellesley College. She embarked on a career in law after graduating from Yale Law School in 1973. Rodham cofounded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families in 1977 and became the first female chair of the Legal Services Corporation in 1978. She was twice listed as one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America.

She has been at the forefront of the U.S. response to the Arab Spring, including advocating for the military intervention in Libya. She has used "smart power" as the strategy for asserting U.S. leadership and values in the world and has championed the use of social media in getting the U.S. message out.

Hillary Clinton supported wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. She would support attacking Iran if Iran developed nuclear weapons. Nevertheless, her foreign policy would favor diplomacy, multilateralism and working through international institutions like the United Nations.

Hillary Clinton stated that it was unlikely the US would intervene in Syria, since the US Congress views al-Assad as "a reformer". US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned both the attacks and the incumbent regime. She announced a full ban on imports of Syrian oil or petroleum products into the United States.

“I thanked Kofi Annanfor his service and wish him well in his future endeavors. To the Syrian people: the United States continues to stand with you and we remain committed to an effective and swift political transition as envisioned under the Annan framework”.
