U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE : POSITIONS WITHOUT NOMINEES

The current situation in the U.S. Foreign Service is the result of many important posts remaining unfilled six months into Trump’s administration. That’s create a vacuum in the carrying out of U.S. foreign policy that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is struggling to deal with. Some of this problem is due to congressional Democrats’ slow-walking all presidential appointments and jamming up the confirmation process. But at the same time it’s tough for anyone Republicans or Democrats to confirm a nominee who hasn’t been nominated.
