What a surprise!
Major news just came from the United States!
On January 3rd, U.S. time, Trump announced three important personnel nominations, which may have far-reaching impacts on U.S. foreign policy and international relations. The first nomination is that Tammy Bruce will serve as the spokesperson for the State Department. Bruce is a senior conservative media personality who has long defended Trump; her appointment means that Trump will continue to take charge of foreign affairs, with Bruce responsible for external communications. The second nomination is that Roman Piekko will serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Estonia.
Piekko is a longtime friend of Trump, having served as White House spokesperson during Trump's presidency. His appointment indicates that Trump will still prioritize confrontation with Russia, as Estonia is an important member of NATO's eastern flank and shares a border with Russia. The third nomination is that Morgan Ortagus will serve as Deputy Special Envoy for Middle East Peace. Ortagus previously served as the State Department spokesperson and delivered several pro-Israel speeches during her tenure. Her appointment indicates that Trump will continue to prioritize the Middle East, with Israel being an important ally for the U.S. in the region.
