"I wanted to announce that I am withdrawing my nomination for consideration as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs. We also needed the unanimous support of every GOP Senator on the Committee on Foreign Relations. Unfortunately, at this time, this unanimous support was not forthcoming."
"Carl announced the decision in a statement posted to X Tuesday afternoon, saying he would step aside from the nomination to serve as assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs, a role that shapes U.S. diplomacy with the United Nations and dozens of global institutions."
Jeremy Carl, Trump's nominee for assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs, withdrew from consideration after determining he lacked sufficient Senate support. The position shapes U.S. diplomacy with the United Nations and global institutions. Carl announced his withdrawal via X, thanking Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and his team for their support throughout the nomination process. He stated that unanimous Republican backing on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was necessary given unified Democratic opposition, but this support was not forthcoming. Democratic senators had criticized Carl's nomination and questioned him about his worldview during his February hearing.
