He has a long diplomatic career and deep knowledge of European affairs.
US President-elect Donald Trump is considering appointing Richard Grenell as a special envoy for the Russian-Ukrainian war. He is the Republican's former intelligence chief.
This is reported by Reuters.
It is known that Grenell was the US ambassador to Germany and acting director of national intelligence during Trump's first presidential term (2017-2021).
He will play a key role in the newly elected US president's efforts to end the war, if he is ultimately elected as special envoy.
Sources clarified that although there is currently no special envoy who deals exclusively with the settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Trump is considering creating such a position.
At the same time, Trump may decide not to create a special envoy for the war in Ukraine. But if he does, he could pick someone else for the role. And there’s no guarantee Grenell will.
If Grenell does agree, some of his positions could give Ukraine’s leaders pause. During a Bloomberg roundtable in July, he advocated for “autonomous zones” as a means of resolving the conflict. He also suggested he would not support Ukraine joining NATO in the near future, “a position he shares with many of Trump’s allies.”
Grenell’s supporters point out that he has a long diplomatic career and deep knowledge of European affairs. In addition to his time as ambassador to Germany, Grenell served as the president’s special envoy to peace talks in Serbia and Kosovo.
Reuters added that Grenell, who campaigned for Trump in the run-up to the November 5 election, was a leading contender for secretary of state. He was ultimately nominated to Republican Senator Marco Rubio, a move that surprised and upset some of Grenell’s close allies.
