Biden administration expected to announce nine career diplomats will be US ambassadors
The Biden administration plans to announce the nominations of nine career diplomats to be United States ambassadors as soon as Thursday, marking the first selection of overseas envoys since President Joe Biden took office, according to an internal list reviewed by CNN.
