On Saturday evening, President-elect Donald Trump has now made the announcement that he has appointed Richard Grenell, a former acting Director of National Intelligence, to serve as his Presidential Envoy for Special Missions.
Grenell was the United States Ambassador to Germany during Trump’s first term in office, and he later became the head of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
He is a favorite among Trump’s most devoted fans. Aside from that, he was also Trump’s Presidential Envoy for the Negotiations Between Kosovo and Serbia.
“Ric will work in some of the hottest spots around the World, including Venezuela and North Korea,” Trump remarked in a statement.
“Previously, he spent eight years inside the United Nations Security Council, working with North Korea, and developments in numerous other Countries. Ric will continue to fight for Peace through Strength, and always put AMERICA FIRST.” Trump continued.
“Ric has a B.A. from Evangel College and a M.P.A from Harvard. Ric will continue to fight for Peace through Strength, and always put AMERICA FIRST.” he added.
As a result of his pugilistic approach to politics, in which he aggressively attempts to further Trump’s agenda, the cancer survivor, who is 58 years old, is in high esteem among Republicans.
However, it appears that foreign nations, particularly Germany, were not lovers of his direct attitude since he forced them to step outside of their comfort zone in order to advance the interests of the United States on their behalf.
