Trump nominates wife of ‘God Bless the USA’ singer Lee Greenwood to serve as US ambassador
The nomination would place Kimberly Greenwood over Barbados and six Eastern Caribbean nations, pending Senate confirmation.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump nominated Kimberly Greenwood to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, sending her nomination to the Senate for confirmation.
- Kimberly Greenwood previously worked with Trump for 18 years while he owned the Miss Universe Organization and she directed state pageants. Her husband, Lee Greenwood, is known for the anthem "God Bless the USA."
- The White House also announced nominees for vacant ambassadorial roles in Haiti, Somalia, Djibouti, and Suriname. Trump nominated outgoing U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, to serve as his top envoy to Riyadh.
- Presidents of both parties frequently reward key supporters with ambassadorships. Democratic President Joe Biden previously selected Seattle business leader Roger Nyhus for the same Barbados role.
- While most political appointees have little impact on foreign policy, some have been sources of presidential headaches, including Gordon Sondland, who was later fired, and Ambassador Robert Woody Johnson, who faced accusations.
