President Donald Trump has picked former fast-food CEO Andrew Puzder to serve as ambassador to the European Union. Puzder was previously nominated to serve as Secretary of Labor during Trump’s first term, but ultimately withdrew due to allegations of spousal abuse, labor law violations and tax avoidance.
Trump praised Puzder — the former chief of CKE restaurants, which is the parent company of Hardee's and Carl's Jr. — as a “successful attorney, businessman, economic commentator, and author,” in a Truth Social post announcing the nomination Wednesday.
