Trump Nominates 'Closest Ally' Perdue, Former Congressman, as Ambassador to China
Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, on the 5th (local time) nominated his close aide, former U.S. Senator David Perdue, as the next ambassador to China for the incoming administration.
On the same day, Trump announced on the social networking service (SNS) Truth Social, "I am announcing that former Senator Perdue has accepted the nomination as the next U.S. ambassador to China."
He introduced Perdue as having built a 40-year career in international business and having served as CEO of a Fortune 500 company, stating that "he will provide valuable expertise in building relations with China." Furthermore, he emphasized that Perdue is the right person for the ambassador role, having spent most of his career working in Asia and China.
Trump said, "He will play a key role in executing my strategy to maintain regional peace and productive cooperative relations with Chinese leaders." Conservative-leaning Perdue, a close aide to Trump, has served on the Senate Armed Services Committee and Foreign Relations Committee. He is expected to play a central role in implementing a tough China diplomacy strategy, including high tariffs on Chinese goods.
