Donald Trump Appoints Richard Grenell as Envoy for Global Special Missions

The former ambassador to Germany will focus on diplomatic efforts in North Korea, Venezuela, and other geopolitical hotspots.

Richard Grenell, a close ally of Donald Trump, has been named Presidential Envoy for Special Missions in the incoming administration.
Grenell's role will involve addressing high-stakes geopolitical issues, including relations with North Korea and Venezuela.
He previously served as U.S. ambassador to Germany, acting director of national intelligence, and envoy for Serbia-Kosovo negotiations during Trump's first term.
Trump emphasized Grenell's commitment to 'Peace through Strength' and his 'America First' approach in announcing the appointment.
Grenell was considered for other top positions, including Secretary of State, but the role ultimately went to Senator Marco Rubio.
