Donald Trump has appointed former acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker as U.S. ambassador to NATO, emphasizing his loyalty and commitment to U.S. interests in the alliance.
Whitaker's selection as NATO ambassador is notable given his legal background rather than experience in foreign policy, raising questions about his suitability for the role.
Trump has criticized NATO's spending and has indicated a willingness to diminish support for allies failing to meet their defense obligations, complicating U.S. relations with NATO.
While serving as acting Attorney General, Whitaker became a vocal opponent of federal investigations into Trump, portraying them as politically motivated and contributing to a narrative of Justice Department bias.
