Democrats Urge Trump To Reverse Recall Of Nearly 30 Ambassadors [View all]

WASHINGTON, Dec 24 (Reuters) - Democratic senators urged President Donald Trump on Wednesday to reverse a recall of nearly 30 career ambassadors, warning the move leaves a dangerous leadership vacuum that allows adversaries like Russia and China to expand their influence.
The Trump administration in recent days has ordered career diplomats serving across Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America back to Washington to ensure U.S. missions abroad reflect its “America First” priorities.
The State Department did not indicate how or when it would replace the ambassadors. A senior department official on Monday said the recalls were “a standard process in any administration.”
But the 10 Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who penned the letter to Trump said the abrupt mass recalls were an “unprecedented move” that no other administration has undertaken since Congress established the modern Foreign Service a century ago and that there was no plan to replace the envoys with qualified candidates.
