U.S. President Donald Trump has nominated a former California congresswoman, Michelle Steel, to be the U.S. ambassador to Seoul, a post that has been vacant throughout his second term, despite South Korea’s status as a key ally.
The White House announced the nomination, which will require congressional approval, on Monday (April 13, 2026).
