Donald Trump nominates lawyer Matthew Whitaker for the post of US Ambassador to NATO.
In a statement, Trump said Whitaker is “a strong warrior and a loyal patriot who will advance and protect American interests.”
He has never been involved in foreign policy or national security before, so his political views are unknown, Democratic Party officials say.

Matthew Whitaker served as acting attorney general for about three months during Trump’s first presidency, when he criticized the special counsel’s investigation into Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
He also previously served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa during the administration of President George W. Bush.
