WASHINGTON (AA) - U.S. President Donald Trump has nominated David Satterfield to be the country's next ambassador to Turkey, the White House said Friday.
Satterfield has been Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs since 2017.
His appointment is not yet official, as he must be confirmed by the Senate.
John Bass was the last serving American ambassador to Turkey from 2014 to 2017.
