I'm ready to scream!

Months later, Trump closes in on U.N. nomination
Kelly Knight Craft's nomination could come next week, launching a tough confirmation process.

President Donald Trump is expected to formally nominate Kelly Knight Craft next week to be the new United States ambassador to the United Nations, a position that has remained unfilled for months at a time of global concerns that president is not committed to such diplomatic institutions.

But Craft, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, faces a tough Senate confirmation process for the same reasons that are thought to have held up her nomination since Trump first tweeted his intent to pick her two months ago:

There are questions about her family’s extensive business interests and her dearth of knowledge about international issues at a time when the U.S. faces numerous geopolitical challenges, including from Russia and a fast-rising China. Her husband, Joe Craft, is a billionaire coal executive with close ties to the White House.
