Richard Grenell, a controversial figure in Trump's circle, has been appointed as envoy for special missions and is set to operate in volatile regions like Venezuela and North Korea.
In his role as U.S. ambassador to Germany, Grenell quickly became unpopular, publicly criticizing Germany's defense spending and causing tensions with political leaders across Europe.
Grenell’s approach to diplomacy is characterized by a brash, confrontational style that prioritized attacking liberal policies and promoting far-right agendas, which resonated with Trump.
His lack of traditional diplomatic experience, coupled with an aggressive online presence, exemplifies a new kind of political appointee that thrives on division and polarization.
