According to Politico, Trump did not deny reports that he could appoint Sullivan the US ambassador to Russia, saying that the diplomat is a very respected person.
In addition, according to Trump, Sullivan “really likes” US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
“He’s the one who is very respected,” Trump told reporters.
Earlier, The New York Times, referring to a senior representative of the US presidential administration, wrote that Trump could appoint John Sullivan as ambassador to Russia.
In early August, the media reported that the special representative for the DPRK Stephen Bigan and the US ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell were among the possible candidates for the post of US ambassador.
