Rahm Emanuel’s stint as ambassador to Japan appears to be off to a rocky start, according to some White House officials.
Confirmed in late 2021 to the office, Mr Emanuel has been the US representative in Tokyo for a little more than a year and a half. But NBC News reports that he has already waded into territory that has put the White House in an uncomfortable position. Three administration officials told the network that Mr Emanuel had been reprimanded for posting a series of taunting messages aimed at Japan’s neighbour, China, on Twitter.
