Trump’s China Ambassador Pick May Open Path for Cooperation
- President-elect has vowed to hit China with massive tariffs
- Perdue would bring business experience to key diplomatic post
President-elect Donald Trump tapped ex-Senator David Perdue as the US ambassador to China, enlisting a former businessman with experience dealing with Communist Party officials for one of his key diplomatic roles.
“He will be instrumental in implementing my strategy to maintain Peace in the region, and a productive working relationship with China’s leaders,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network on Thursday, as he dished out a series of appointments to allies.
