A Trump transition source told Reuters that Grenell will also focus on tensions in the Balkans
WASHINGTON – US President-elect Donald Trump said on Saturday he was picking Richard Grenell, his former intelligence chief, as presidential envoy for special missions, a post where he will likely drive policies toward some US adversaries, including North Korea.
After campaigning for Trump ahead of the Nov. 5 election, he was a top contender for secretary of state, a job that went to US Senator Marco Rubio. He was also considered for special envoy for the Ukraine war, which went to retired lieutenant general Keith Kellogg.Presidents name presidential and special envoys to focus on global issues, crises or specific diplomatic efforts.
What reciprocation Kim might offer Trump is unclear. The North Koreans ignored four years of outreach by US President Joe Biden to start talks with no pre-conditions, and Kim is emboldened by an expanded missile arsenal and a much closer relationship with Russia.
