President-elect Donald Trump has selected longtime ally Tom Barrack as his choice for the US ambassador to Turkey. Barrack, who has a successful track record of managing a global private equity firm for over three decades, is seen as a respected and experienced figure in both political and business circles.
In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump praised Barrack for his ability to engage with a wide range of thought leaders and for his reputation as a voice of reason. This nomination comes after Barrack and an associate were acquitted of foreign lobbying charges in 2022.
