Trump Hires Gingrich
President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he has selected Callista Gingrich as his nominee to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland. This move continues Trump’s trend of appointing individuals with proven diplomatic experience and strong ties to his administration. Gingrich, who is married to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, previously served as Ambassador to the Vatican during Trump’s first term in office, where she made notable contributions in advancing religious freedom and global humanitarian efforts.
In her previous role, Gingrich worked tirelessly to defend international religious liberty, combat human trafficking, and promote humanitarian assistance worldwide. Her efforts were widely recognized and respected, positioning her as an effective and dedicated ambassador who supported key American values on the international stage. Her success in those areas made her a trusted figure within the Trump administration.
President Trump praised Gingrich’s leadership, highlighting the accomplishments she achieved in her prior diplomatic role. He emphasized her dedication to key issues such as religious freedom, human trafficking, and humanitarian aid, all of which are important priorities for the Republican base. By tapping Gingrich for the Switzerland post, Trump is signaling his continued commitment to promoting American ideals abroad, while reinforcing his administration’s track record of supporting global human rights and religious liberty.
For conservative voters, this nomination is a positive development, as it underscores Trump’s ongoing focus on appointing capable individuals who are deeply aligned with his values. Gingrich’s experience and strong conservative principles make her a fitting choice to represent the United States in Switzerland, where her efforts can further advance diplomatic relations and strengthen the U.S. position in Europe.
