“In my Second Term, Pete will help me once again put AMERICA FIRST,” Trump wrote in a statement announcing the nomination on Nov. 20. “He did an outstanding job as United States Ambassador to the Netherlands during our first four years, and I am confident that he will continue to represent our Country well in this new role. Thank you, Pete!”
