In May 2023, Reuters reported that Sherman did not support stricter export control rules on Huawei and wished to revive Blinken's canceled visit to China following the 2023 Chinese balloon incident.[7] The same month, CNN reported that Sherman was expected to leave her post in summer 2023.[8] Sherman retired on July 28, 2023.[9]
