Trump Suggests Joseph Burkhalter for U.S. Ambassador to Moldova

His name is included in the list of official nominations submitted to the Senate for approval. The nomination must now be reviewed by the U.S. Senate, which must approve the appointment before the diplomat can officially begin his duties in Chisinau.
