On Thursday evening, Trump announced Christine Toretti as his pick for ambassador to Sweden. He praised Toretti as an “incredible businesswoman, philanthropist, public servant, and RNC Committeewoman.” Furthermore, Toretti serves as Chairman of S&T Bancorp and is a former director of the Pittsburgh Federal Reserve Bank. Additionally, she has supported important causes as a Board Member of the International Medical Corps, former Chair of the Andy Warhol Museum, Director of the NCAA Foundation, founding Director of the Gettysburg Foundation, Trustee of the Sarah Scaife Foundation, and Chair of the Anne B. Anstine Excellence in Public Service Series in Pennsylvania, and the Dodie Londen Excellence in Public Service Series in Arizona.

Moreover, Trump announced retired Army Capt. Sam Brown as the next Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Brown, an American HERO and Purple Heart recipient, has devoted his life to serving America. He fearlessly proved his love for the country in the Army, leading troops in battle in Afghanistan. After being honorably retired as a Captain, he helped veterans access emergency medications. Consequently, Brown will continue his service to the nation at the VA, working tirelessly to ensure America’s veterans are prioritized and remembered.
As Jan. 20 nears, Trump continues to round out picks for his Cabinet. The Republican-controlled U.S. Senate will soon begin holding hearings for Trump’s Cabinet nominees.
