WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President-elect Donald Trump chose Matthew Whitaker on Wednesday as his nominee to be U.S. ambassador to NATO, selecting a loyalist who briefly served as acting attorney general during Trump's first White House term.
"Matt is a strong warrior and loyal Patriot, who will ensure the United States' interests are advanced and defended. Matt will strengthen relationships with our NATO Allies, and stand firm in the face of threats to Peace and Stability - He will put AMERICA FIRST," Trump said in a statement.
