Trump Appoints David Perdue as U.S. Ambassador to China
Former President Donald Trump has chosen David Perdue, a former Republican senator from Georgia, to be the U.S. Ambassador to China. Trump highlighted Perdue’s extensive business experience as a valuable asset in strengthening U.S.-China relations.
In a statement, Trump expressed confidence in Perdue’s ability to help foster peace in the region and create a productive working relationship with Chinese leaders. This appointment comes at a crucial time, as Trump has been vocal about the need for China to take more action against the trafficking of fentanyl, a dangerous drug that has impacted many American communities.
In addition to Perdue’s appointment, Trump also selected Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, to serve as ambassador to Chile. Trump praised Judd for his dedication to border security and his efforts to represent the concerns of border patrol agents effectively.
"Brandon helped me develop and implement the most effective Border Security policies in our nation’s history," Trump stated. He expressed confidence that Judd would represent the U.S. well in his new role, just as he has tirelessly advocated for border patrol agents.
These appointments reflect Trump’s ongoing commitment to addressing international and domestic challenges in ways that support American interests and values.
