Ex-Utah Governor Huntsman accepts Trump offer to be ambassador to Russia
Jon Huntsman, a businessman and former Governator of Utah and former ambassador to China during the Obama presidency, was chosen by President Trump as a new Ambassador to Russia. Huntsman’s appointment must be confirmed by the Senate, should not be a problem overlooking the esteem he enjoys even among Democrats, and will have the task of relaunching relations between Washington and Moscow, as in Trump intentions.
