Trump Nominates Former Investment Banker George Glass as Ambassador to Japan Amid Anti-China Stance
Dec 17, 2024, 12:09 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced the nomination of George Edward Glass as the next U.S. Ambassador to Japan. Glass, a seasoned diplomat and businessman from Oregon, previously served as the U.S. Ambassador to Portugal during Trump's first term. Known for his business acumen, having been the president of an investment bank, Glass is expected to bring a strong economic perspective to the ambassadorial role. His appointment comes at a time when the U.S. aims to strengthen its stance against China, and Japan is a key ally in this strategy. Trump praised Glass for his previous diplomatic service and his commitment to putting 'America First.' Glass, who has also worked in real estate, was critical of Chinese investments in Portugal during his tenure there. He has a personal connection to Japan, as his eldest son lives there, and he was a major fundraiser for Trump's 2012 presidential election campaign.
