The White House announced last night that I will nominated former ambassador to China, Jon Huntsman Jr., to be sent by the president's administration, Donad Trump, to Russia.
This nomination should be approved in the Senate, where investigations are currently under way concerning allegations of Russian involvement in the American presidential election in 2016 are under way.
Jon Huntsman, 57, was an American ambassador to China in 2009 period 2011.
He was long expected to be Mr. Trump's choice for the post.
Mr. Huntsman served in the administrations of five presidents of the United States, and in 2012 he was a candidate for the Republican Party's presidential nomination.
In March, when it was warned that Huntsman would be appointed ambassador to Russia, there have been different reactions in Moscow.
A Russian politician has said that he is not peaceful “, while the Kremlin has stressed that it welcomes anyone who is the reliable “backer” of the establishment of dialogue between Russia and the United States.
