President-elect Trump announced his nominations for U.S. ambassadors to five countries on Monday, including Austria and Japan.
In a series of Truth Social posts on Monday night, the incoming president detailed his picks for the U.S. ambassadors to Japan, the Dominican Republic, Austria, Luxembourg and Uruguay. Each nominee will need to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
Trump named George Edward Glass, a former U.S. ambassador to Portugal, to serve as the incoming U.S. ambassador to Japan.
"As a former President of an Investment Bank, George will bring his business acumen to the Ambassador’s position," Trump said of Glass. "George graduated from the University of Oregon, served as Alumni President, and on its Board of Trustees. He will always PUT AMERICA FIRST. Congratulations George!"
