President Barack Obama intends to nominate Deborah K. Jones to become the new U.S. ambassador to Libya. The last person to be U.S. ambassador to Libya was Christopher Stevens, but he was one of the four Americans killed in an attack on a diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, in September. Jones is very experienced, having been the U.S. ambassador to Kuwait from 2008 to 2011. Before that she held embassy and consulate posts in Turkey, Ethiopia, the United Arab Emirates, and Syria, according to the White House.
President Obama also announced on Wednesday that he intends to nominate James Knight as ambassador to Chad. "It gives me great confidence that such dedicated and capable individuals have agreed to join this administration to serve the American people. I look forward to working with them in the months and years to come," Obama said in a White House press conference.
