Trump Nominates Kimberly Greenwood as Barbados Ambassador

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 worked with Trump for 18 years while he owned the Miss Universe Organization and she directed state pageants; her husband, Lee Greenwood, performs 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.
Some past political appointees have been the source of presidential headaches, including $1 million inaugural contributor Gordon Sondland, who was fired after testifying, and Ambassador Robert "Woody" Johnson, who faced accusations of misconduct.
