Senate approves Trump nominees
The U.S. Senate approved the appointment of dozens of ambassadors and senior officials at the State Department nominated by President Donald Trump. Among them are 11 ambassadors to countries such as Australia, Norway, and Brazil, as well as five candidates for ambassador-level positions, even though there are over 100 diplomatic posts vacant. The Senate approved 74 nominees by majority vote despite partisan opposition, after Trump broke with traditional policies by recalling seasoned military diplomats appointed by his predecessor Joe Biden. Meanwhile, many of these positions remain in a state of acting leadership.
