WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding President Donald Trump’s intent to nominate Kelly Knight Craft of Kentucky to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to Canada:

“President Trump made an impressive choice in announcing his intention to select Kelly Knight Craft to be the United States Ambassador to Canada.  A native of Glasgow, Kentucky, Kelly has a proud record of service to both the state and our country. She has been an exceptional advocate for our national interests as a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations, and I am confident that she will do the same as Ambassador. I look forward to the Senate’s consideration and confirmation of this exceptional nominee.”
