Jon huntsman (Jon Huntsman) to be the new U.S. Ambassador to Russia. This was announced Tuesday by the White house. President Donald trump was appointed Ambassador in Moscow, the former Governor of Utah, who was already a top diplomat in Singapore under George Bush (George W. Bush), and under Barack Obama as Ambassador to China. The Mormon huntsman is considered a voice of reason and an experienced mediator — qualities which are badly needed in the current tense situation between the two countries.
On the day of appointment of the Huntsman, his colleague on the other hand, Sergey Kislyak, Russian Ambassador to Washington, made his farewell reception. Kislyak, who will replace hardliner Anatoly Antonov in recent months was constantly in the spotlight of American media. Sometimes it was almost the Central figure lasted several months, the Russian Scam. So, Kislyak had talks during the election campaign a former Advisor to trump on security issues Michael Flynn (as Michael Flynn), and his son-in-law Jared Kushner (Jared Kushner).

The U.S. President and Russian President was held on the sidelines of the G20 in Hamburg the second conversation, which was attended by only a translator of Putin. For critics, it means “a breach of Protocol national security.” The President of the United States trump immediately responded to this criticism and called on Twitter authors of the relevant media reports “sick”. A White house spokesman said that it was only a “brief conversation at the end of dinner.” But observers say the “watch conversation”. Meanwhile, the content of this conversation is unknown.
The appointment of Huntsman must be approved by the Senate, but this is considered a formality. The former Governor, a moderate Republican, enjoys a good reputation with both sides. He ran as a candidate in the presidential election in 2012, received third place in the primaries in new Hampshire and stopped the election campaign. He later led the Institute for foreign policy Institut of the Atlantic Council. He is member of several Supervisory boards, including oil giant Chevron and car manufacturer Ford.

Then the huntsman said, what pre-election struggle “hit bottom” and called Mike Pence (Mike Pence), the current Vice-President, to stand instead of trump for President.
