President-elect Donald Trump has named Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad as his pick for the next U.S. ambassador to China, Trump transition spokesman Jason Miller said today.
Branstad has accepted the offer, Miller said. He also noted that Trump announced the pick in closed-press remarks at a fundraiser in New York City this morning. A formal paper statement announcing the pick is expected later today.
The position will require Senate confirmation.
