Trump Nominates Bill White as Ambassador to Belgium

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Bill White, a prominent businessperson and political donor, as the U.S. ambassador to Belgium. White, who is the founder of the Constellations Group, has been recognized for raising over $1.5 billion for service members and veterans, earning him accolades from the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy. His political affiliations have shifted over the years, notably supporting Democratic candidates before becoming a key donor for Trump's campaign. White's past includes controversy, such as his resignation from the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum following a state pension investigation in 2010. Additionally, he played a significant role in the Buckhead Cityhood movement, advocating for the neighborhood's secession from Atlanta. His nomination is part of Trump's broader effort to appoint allies to key diplomatic positions.
