The former US ambassador to Germany has been a fierce ally to the convicted felon.
Trump said on Truth Social, “Ric will work in some of the hottest spots around the World, including Venezuela and North Korea,” Trump wrote, additionally saying he’d “continue to fight for Peace through Strength, and always put AMERICA FIRST.”
