In the same wave of nominations, the U.S. has proposed ambassadors for a large number of other countries, including El Salvador, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Cavoural Guinea, Moldova, Indonesia, Bulgaria, Trinidad and Tobago, Paraguay, Colombia, Lithuania, Egypt, Brazil, Ecuador, Zambia, Sierra Leone and Kenya.

The American ambassadors' appointment process runs through a constitutional procedure of “counciling and consenting” of the Senate. Initially, the president of the United States nominated the candidate, who is then considered by the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. This committee holds hearings, where candidates answer senators' questions and present their priorities.

After the review, the committee votes and recommends to the Senate candidacy. Only after the Senate adopts it by majority, the president formally appoints the ambassador, who then starts office in the host country by delivering credentials to the head of state.

Unlike many other countries, the president's nomination is not enough for taking office, as confirmation by the Senate remains a crucial step that can take weeks or months, especially when the process is accompanied by political debate.
