  • A combative loyalist and the president-elect's former ambassador to Germany, Mr. Grenell had hoped to be secretary of state.

The article from The New York Times, published on December 14, 2024, discusses former President Donald Trump's consideration of appointing Richard Grenell to lead a new "special missions" office within the State Department. Grenell, who previously served as Trump's ambassador to Germany and acting Director of National Intelligence, would oversee a unit focused on countering China's influence globally. This office would operate with a degree of autonomy, aiming to disrupt and challenge Chinese initiatives in areas like technology, infrastructure, and international alliances. The move reflects Trump's ongoing strategy to confront China more aggressively, using unconventional diplomatic tactics. Critics express concern over the potential for this office to bypass traditional diplomatic channels, possibly leading to increased tensions with China and other nations.
