Trump Selects Ex-AG Whitaker as NATO Ambassador

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Matthew Whitaker, a former acting attorney general, as the U.S. ambassador to NATO. Whitaker, who lacks foreign or military experience, is expected to advocate for Trump's stance on defense spending, which has been critical of NATO allies not meeting their financial commitments. This appointment may cause concern among NATO members, as Whitaker is likely to push for increased contributions from European countries.
