Middle East2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported6m ago
President Trump has nominated U.S. Representative Wesley Hunt, a Republican from Houston, to serve as the United States ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Trump submitted Hunt's nomination alongside a slew of other appointments to the Senate, which is responsible for confirming the positions.
The U.S. has been without a full-time ambassador to Saudi Arabia since Michael Ratney's departure from office. Hunt, a vocal ally of the president, previously finished a distant third in the Texas Senate Republican primary earlier in the year.
