US President-elect Donald Trump chose his golfing friend Louis Rinaldi as his incoming administration's future Ambassador to Montevideo. The Italy-born Rinaldi grew up in Uruguay since he was 4 before moving to the United States. Trump has announced that a series of ambassadorial positions would be filled businessmen such as Rinaldi rather than career diplomats.
Add your comment!Former military officer and current deputy assistant secretary of the Office of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), Heide Fulton has been nominated by president Joe Biden as the new ambassador to Uruguay.
The United States Travel Advisory for Uruguay offered a not very encouraging description of the country for foreign visitors but anyhow is well distanced from most of the rest of Latin American, and neighbors.
